NOTES
4.9 Probability
The final function in the groove section is the Probability parameter. This
sets whether an active note will be played and is audible or whether the
note will be silenced. The chance of the note being silenced is based on
the probability parameter which increases or decreases the chance that a
note is not played. This is a bi-polar setting which operates on any note or
repeat or on pulses plus the respective repeats. This can introduce an
organic and unpredictable variation, creating space in a rhythmic pattern.
Range -100% to 0
The range on the left i.e. bottom row, ORANGE
⬛
, value buttons [VB9] -
[VB11] or adjusted by [CTRL] + Turn (PROBABILITY) Counter-clockwise,
represents the chance that a pulse is silent. This is also adjusted as fine
tuning using the top row value buttons. When a pulse is silent its associated
repeats will also be silenced.
Range 0 to +100%
The range on the right i.e. bottom row, ORANGE
⬛
, value buttons [VB13] -
[VB15] or adjusted by [CTRL] + Turn (PROBABILITY) Clockwise,
represents the chance that a note is silent. This could be the main trigger
note and / or a repeat note. This is also adjusted as fine tuning using the
top row value buttons.
Modulation Phase
Modulation phase, adjusted by PINK
⬛
, [VB8] and [VB16] buttons adjusts
the random modulation phase, i.e. which notes are selected to silence.
Probability View Mode.
Illustration shows default - 0% probability i.e. all notes will play as normal. At maximum on
each side, the probability will be 100% meaning notes will be totally silenced.
