TIP 1: If you only want to add a few additional Zones, deactivate the Auto-Ram-Cleaner shortly
and play back your song again in your sequencer software or play with your MIDI
keyboard only the additional Zones. Afterwards activate the Auto-Ram-Cleaner again.
TIP 2: If you switch to the Mapping page afterwards you will notice that only the used Zones
are visible and all unused Zones got unloaded. If you still want to make the unloaded
Zones visible please click on the „select“ pull-down menu of the Mapping Editor, click
on „edit preferences“ and select „show cleaned up zones“. Now also the unloaded
Zones are visible, but marked in red.
Tune Model
The Tune Model pull-down menu is a very unique feature of Independence. Different culture very
often have different tunes for their instruments. To give you the flexibility to adjust any instrument
to any tune model Independence already offers more than 50 different models for Arabic, Historic,
Indian, Chinese and Turkish tunes. Of course you can also create your own, custom tune models. If
you select „edit“ from the drop-down menu the left working area of Independence switches to the
Tune Model page.
Now the Tune Model Editor will show up in the working area and contains the basic tune models
on the left and the alternative tune models (muted by default) on the right side. You can select the
root key for the tune model in the appropriate pull-down menu in the upper left corner. The order of
your keys will change accordingly. Use the „active keys“ input field to adjust the range of your tune
model. All keys beyond this range still get displayed but muted (displayed in darker blue). If you
want to assign different tunes that depend on the playing direction, simply deactivate the „bypass“
button for the alternative tune model and select the preferred playing direction for the alternative
tune model in the upper pull-down menu. Use the „reset“ button in the upper right corner to reset the
tune model to its default values.
