We made the experience that in practice (from musical aspect) more than 16 Basic Steps are not
needed and would also cause a worse overview. For this reason we set the maximum number of
steps for Independence to 16 Basic Steps and 16 Alternative Steps.
For a better overview of your Alternates, Independence contains an additional „Content Browser“ on
the Performance Page. To open this browser just click the „Content“ button top right.
The Content Browser is very useful for an intuitive and quick selection of all available Alternates,
so the fast Independence workflow is always guaranteed. Additionally the Content Browser also
shows the currently activated modules of the available Alternates. If there is a „Key Switch“ on C#1
or another module from the „Modules Page“ currently activated for an Alternate, for example, the
indicators „(KS C#1)“ and „(m)“ get added right beside the Alternate name. The currently played
Alternate is labelled with an asterisk on the right side of the Alternate name.
Alternate Mode parameters
The variety of the available parameters on the Performance Page lets you imagine the limitless
possibilities to create, edit and customize any desired operations to realize all your combinations of
Alternates, Repetitions, Steps and Articulations.
All parameters on this page lets you control the chronology and sequence of the Alternates. The left
part contains the Basic Steps parameters, the right part the Alternative Steps parameters.
„Select“ pull-down menu
The „select“ pull-down menu contains the functions to create a new Alternate, to rename the
current Alternate and finally to delete the current Alternate. Additionally you have a main „bypass“
function. A click on „bypass all“ will bypass all Alternates that are part of the selected Layer patch.
To undo the „bypass all“ command just click it again.
Right beside the pull-down menu the name of the currently selected Alternate gets displayed.
