square-wave signal is transmitted.
•
In external MIDI sync modes, the
REGELWERK
tempo is controlled by MIDI
Realtime Messages at MIDI In 1 and / or MIDI
In 2.
•
At the DIN sync socket, a synchronised
square-wave signal is again transmitted.
•
In external DIN Sync Mode the DIN sync
socket turns into an input, and the
REGELWERK
is controlled by any square-
wave signal or start / stop messages received
at the socket.
•
Further sync parameters can be altered when
using MIDI clock sync, to change the
response of the
REGELWERK
to Continue
commands.
Setting the mode to the following:-
Mode: Start; Cont
−
makes
REGELWERK
tracks reset to the first
step after a Start message (or in normal
cycling mode)
−
A Continue message starts the sequence
from the last step reached.
Setting the mode to the following:-
Mode: Start = Cont
−
means that all tracks will start afresh from
step one, whether a Start or a Continue
message is received.
•
As standard, MIDI Realtime messages are
transmitted from both MIDI Out 1 and MIDI
Out 2. There may be some MIDI
configurations, though, where this could be
undesirable, or cause problems.
Accordingly,
REGELWERK
gives you the
option of sending Realtime Messages just
from one or other of the MIDI Outs, or from
neither.
Mode: Mcl1
sends Realtime Messages out only from MIDI
Out 1;
Mcl2 sends only from MIDI Out 2;
Mcl1 & Mcl2 sends from both MIDI Outs (the
default setting at power-up);
No Mcl-Out sends no Realtime Messages from
either of the two MIDI Outs.
⇒
All Sync Menu settings are only stored in
volatile memory, so will be lost when power is
switched off, and will need to be re-entered if
required on power-up.
9.4.15 Sequencer Parameters
Editing Track Parameters :
MIDI Channel,
Note Number,
Step Time
Gate Time
End Step.
−
A Track is chosen for editing by pressing one
of the Track Select buttons.
−
Tracks are turned on and off with the Track
On buttons.
−
Gate On / Off is controlled by the Sequencer
Step buttons.
−
The MIDI Channel page is used to select the
MIDI channel for each track.
−
The Note Number page defines a note offset
for the track as a whole, adding the
programmed number of semi-tones to all the
notes of a track. This is always a positive
offest – negative offsets aren't possible.
−
The Step Time page sets the number of MIDI
clocks or DIN sync pulses between each
event in the track. The result is whole-
number division of MIDI clock and / or the
internal tempo.
−
The Gate Time page enables you to adjust
the relative length of the notes (and spaces,
of course).
•
Gate Time is the time between identical
repeated events – like two Note Ons.
Step Time is shown in the display like this:-:
Step Time:006 = 1/16
−
The '006' means that 6 MIDI Clock pulses
must elapse before the next event is
produced, and / or a track moves to the next
step.
−
The reference to the musical terminology
'1/16' stems from the fact that, as there are
96 MIDI clocks in a beat, each clock is 1/96.
Six clocks are therefore 1/16 (6/96).
−
The End Step page is used to select the last
step in a track. After reaching this step, the
track jumps back ('resets') to the first step in
