5.6.1.2. Sync settings
The Roller will work even when an external sync source is used. The results may vary
depending on the source, though.
If playback is stopped and no external clock is being received, the Roller will output notes at
a rate based on the internal clock setting.
If the Time Division is set to TRIPLET, then the roller will playback in triplet beats (except in
Control Mode, which does not have a Triplet setting).
5.6.2. Looper mode
The Looper function allows you to alter the playback of the Project in real time. It will
generate smaller loops based on where you touch the Looper strip and when you do it.
It controls all three sequencers at the same time, so it doesn’t matter which one is selected.
It also works when the unit is in Control Mode.
5.6.2.1. Loop length
The length of the loop is determined by the placement of your finger on the Looper strip,
with 1/4 being the largest loop and 1/32 being the smallest. Changing the location of your
finger changes the size of the loop.
♪
: While recording in SEQ1/SEQ2 or DRUM modes, the touch strip always acts as a Roller. BeatStep
Pro will not record Looper activity.
5.6.2.2. Loop start point
The start point of the loop is based on when you touch the strip during playback. You can
jump to a different loop position by pressing one of the Step buttons while holding your
finger on the strip.
5.7. Transpose Link
The TRNS LNK button allows SEQ1 and SEQ2 to transpose together by the same amount. The
Drum sequencer will not be affected.
There are three potential sources for transposition commands:
• Note data from the MIDI In connector
• Note data from the USB connection
• The pads (SEQ1 or SEQ2 must be selected).
The MIDI Control Center allows you to set
transposition preferences [p.119]
such as Latch on/
off, the input port, the input channel and the center pitch. See the that section of the
chapter for a full description.
To toggle the Transposition Link feature on and off, press the TRNS LNK button.
