Operation Manual

MENU AND DIALOG REFERENCE
755
The Alter Pattern function modifies existing patterns. Note that there must be something in the pattern for the func-
tion to work on - using an Alter function on an empty pattern will not do anything.
! Note that for the Matrix, Alter affects both the Gate, Note and Curve CV!
Alter Drum
This function modifies existing patterns for the selected drum sound in Redrum. Note that there must be something
in the pattern for that channel for the function to work - using an Alter function on an empty pattern will not do any-
thing.
Invert Pattern
This menu item is used for the RPG-8 Arpeggiator device, when the Pattern editor is activated. This inverts the pat-
tern, so that active steps become rests and vice versa.
Arpeggio Notes to Track
This menu item is used for rendering the arpeggio from an RPG-8 to actual note clips. For this to work, you must
have recorded chords or notes on the RPG-8 track and set the locators (so that an arpeggio is generated when you
start playback from the left locator).
“Arpeggio Notes to Track” will create a note clip between the locators on the selected track, containing the gener-
ated arpeggio notes. You can then mute the original note clip(s) on the RPG-8 track and edit the rendered arpeggio
notes as usual.
Create Track for.../Delete Track for...
A rack device can have one sequencer track or no sequencer track. Instrument devices are by default created to-
gether with a sequencer track, while effect devices, mixers etc. are created without tracks.
D If a device without sequencer track is selected, this menu item is called “Create Track for [device name]”.
Select it to create an empty sequencer track for the device.
D If the selected device has a sequencer track already, this menu item is called “Delete Track for [device name]”.
It will remove the sequencer track and all its contents, but leave the device.
Go To Track for
D With a device selected in the rack, select “Go To Track for [device name]” to bring the corresponding se-
quencer track for the device into view.
Insert Bars Between Locators
! The sequencer must have edit focus for this item to become available.
This function inserts an empty area between the locators in the main sequencer. All events after the left locator are
moved to the right to “make room” for the inserted area. See “Inserting bars” for more information.
Remove Bars Between Locators
! The sequencer must have edit focus for this item to become available.
This function removes all material between the locators in the main sequencer. All events after the right locator are
moved to the left to “fill out” the gap after the removed section. See “Removing bars” for more information.
