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

11.1.7, Adjusting the Step

Grid and the Nudge Grid

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
