4.2.10.4. The Time Shift Encoder

This encoder enables you to shift a selected note backward or forward in time relative to

the center of that step. The range is -49% to +50% of a step. In the case of two adjacent

steps in a sequence, if you shift the first forward and the second backward they will seem

to almost merge. In Arpeggio (Arp) mode, the Time Shift encoder shifts the entire arpeggio

that is playing in the current track backward or forward in time. Of course, you'll only notice

this if you have two arpeggios running simultaneously on two tracks, both on Hold.

4.2.10.5. The Randomness Encoder

In Step Edit mode, the Randomness encoder lets you choose, for each note, the probability

that it will trigger, from 0% to 100%. If there is more than one note stored in the selected

step, each note will trigger randomly according to the current Randomness setting.

In Arpeggio (Arp) mode, the Randomness encoder does something quite different: it

introduces random notes into your arpeggio.

4.2.10.6. Setting a Track's Default Parameters

To set the parameters for a specific track, select the track using the Track 1, 2, 3 or 4 button

and then turn the main encoders without holding down any Step buttons. This combination

of five encoder positions will become the default parameters for that track.

4.2.10.7. Setting an individual step

To set parameters for a specific step, first choose the track you would like to edit using the

Track 1, 2, 3 or 4 button, then hold down a Step button while adjusting one or more of the

main encoders. Doing this will set specific values for that step that are different to the default

parameters (as described above).
