Description
Knob 1 (
POSITION
)
Nudges selected events, i.e. shifts selected events on the timeline
according to the Nudge Grid (the events’ offsets relative to the Nudge
Grid are preserved). Hold
SHIFT
while you turn the knob to temporarily
override the Nudge Grid quantization and adjust the positions in
extremely small increments. See section
for more information on the Nudge Grid.
If one event only is selected, its position is shown under
POSITION
. If
several events are selected, the field shows
(MULTI)
.
See also the alternate method described below.
Knob 2 (
PITCH
)
Transposes the selected events by semitones.
If one event only is selected, its pitch is shown under
PITCH
. If several
events are selected, the field shows
(MULTI)
.
See also the alternate method described below.
Knob 3 (
VELOCITY
)
Adjusts the velocity of the selected events. If the events have different
velocities, the velocities differences are retained as long as the limits
(0 and 127) are not reached. If one event only is selected, its velocity
is shown under
VELOCITY
. If several events are selected, the field
shows
(MULTI)
.
Knob 4 (
LENGTH
)
Moves the end of the selected events according to the Step Grid (the
offset of each event’s end relative to the Step Grid is preserved). Hold
SHIFT
while you turn the knob to temporarily override the Step Grid
quantization and adjust the lengths in extremely small increments. If
the events have different lengths, the length differences are retained
as long as no event becomes shorter than one step.
If one event only is selected, its length is shown under
LENGTH
. If
several events are selected, the field shows
(MULTI)
.
You can also use these editing functions to quickly create variations of your Patterns during a live
performance.
