7-4 Preliminary - Subject to Change
Setup Mode
Riffs
handy if you have multiple riffs and want to do some live remixing – you could have the drums
drop out, and as long is there is a riff playing, they will sync back up when triggered again.
Sync Type
Sync Type allows you to choose how your riff will sync to other riffs.
None
With this parameter set to “None”, your riff will start playing as soon as it is triggered. It will not
sync to any other zone.
DownBeat
With this parameter set to downbeat, the riff will wait for the downbeat of the next measure
before starting. So you can trigger the riff to start ahead of time, and have it start in sync at the
downbeat of the next measure.
AnyBeat
With this paramter set to AnyBeat, the riff will wait only until the next beat. Depending on when
you trigger the riff, it will sync up, but it may be on an upbeat or a downbeat.
DownBeatWait
With this parameter set to DownBeatWait, the riff will wait for the downbeat of the next
measure to start. The difference from DownBeat is that if there is no riff to sync to, this riff will
not start. This can be useful if you want to start multiple riffs synced to 1 riff. You could have a
bass riff set to DownBeatWait. Trigger the riff while no other riffs are running. As soon as you
start another riff, the bass riff will start playing as well (provided it is set to sync to another zone
or first available.) If another riff is already running, DownBeatWait behaves just like DownBeat.
AnyBeatWait
With this parameter set to AnyBeatWait, the riff will wait for the next beat to start. The difference
from AnyBeat is that if there is no riff to sync to, this riff will not start. This can be useful if you
want to start multiple riffs synced to 1 riff. You could have a bass riff set to AnyBeatWait. Trigger
the riff while no other riffs are running. As soon as you start another riff, the bass riff will start
playing as well (provided it is set to sync to another zone or first available.) If another riff is
already running, AnyBeatWait behaves just like AnyBeat.
RIFF2
Link
This parameter will allow you to have a riff play only while a key is pressed. Set the Trigger
range and any key that is pressed within this range will play the selected riff. Release the key
and the riff will stop.
Re Channel
Re Channel is used when the current zone's MIDI channel and the channel that the riff was
recorded on are not the same. If you want to use a riff on zone 2, MIDI channel 2 and the riff was
recorded on track 4, MIDI channel 4, you will need to turn Re Channel on.
