Transpose/Root Note
With transpose set to “On”, the riff will transpose to the value set in the Root Note parameter. So
if you recorded a riff whose root note was at C4, you can set a new root note in the setup so that
the riff will play in the correct range. In this scenario, if you want to trigger your riff from C1 and
it was recorded at C4, you would set Transpose to “On” and Root Note to C1. Your riff will now
play at the correct value when triggered from C1.
Duration
Duration changes the duration of each MIDI note.
Tick Offset
You can fine tune the start time of your riff by using the Tick Offset parameter. A positive value
will delay the start time while a negative value will speed up the start time.
Tempo BPM
The are four choices here that will determine what controls the tempo of your riff.
Sequence
With the Tempo BPM set to this parameter, the original tempo that the riff was recorded will be
used.
Setup
With the Tempo BPM set to this parameter, the tempo set on the Common page will be used.
This is useful if you want to sync the tempo of the riff and the arpeggiator together.
External
With the Tempo BPM set to this parameter, the riff will sync to external MIDI clock.
20-400
You can also manually choose a tempo by selecting a value from 20-400.
SrcTrk
This parameter along with Start and Stop is useful to use a single sequence as riff for many
zones, selecting a different Source Track and start stop parameters for each zone, to avoid
having to create a special sequence for each riff.
Start
Start will let you select the start time for your riff.
Stop
Stop will let you select the stop time for your riff.
Velocity
This parameter will let you change the value of the velocities that were recorded in the
sequence.
