them alternatively with the +/- buttons and the rotary
encoder.
Furthermore, the step position is also shown in the display:
Track >_2_____m<
SNo-001:000=C3
In this example, the step position 1 is selected.
“SNo” is the abbreviation of Step Note, after the colon
comes the value of the Note number.
✠ These values can be set separately for each of
the 16 steps of a track.
7.4.5 Velocity Track/Step
•
Besides instructing which MIDI event,
note/controller/etc. is handled, this information must be
expanded into a threefold data stream.
−
Namely, for Note-Events, their velocity (volume level)
should also be defined.
−
For Controllers, their controller value
−
For Polyphonic & Monophonic-Aftertouch, the
strength of the aftertouch.
−
For Program-Change messages is this parameter
useless.
•
This value is located in the Velocity menu, with the
following display:
Track >_2_____m<
MainVel:127=100%
The velocity value is 127, which translates to a level of
100%.
✠ This global value controls all 16 steps
simultaneously.
Similarly to the setting of Note numbers, the Velocity
value can be adjusted for each step.
Track >_2_____m<
SVe-001:127=100%
−
The Step Velocity is not added to the value of the
Global-Velocity setting, but is rather multiplied with it
to get a useful result.
−
This way, the multiplication of 100% by 100% results
in 100%. If one or both of the input values are smaller
than 100%, the end result will also be smaller than
100%.
−
So that a crossed master/slave rule is established
through this function.
✠ These values can also be set independently for
each of the 16 steps of a track.
7.4.6 Step, Gate & Delay time
•
For each track, it is possible to adjust the time spacing
between the events in MIDI-Clock units (Din-Sync
units). This setting results in defining a tempo master
reference, obtained by dividing the MIDI clock or the
internally generated tempo clock.
•
The Step time is the duration between two similar
events, i.e. between two successive Note-On
messages.
•
Additionally, for Note-Events, the time between Note-
On and Note-Off (note length) is also adjustable.
For example, the Step time could be set to:
Track >_2_____m<
StepTim:006=1/16
−
The “006” value means that, altogether, 6 MIDI
clocks should elapse before the next event occurs, i.e.
going a step further in the track.
−
The indication “1/16 refers to musical time duration
notation, where 6 MIDI clocks are defined to be value
for 1/16 of a bar. To ease the musical use, this
notation is used wherever appropriate.
−
Similarly, the Gate time is the duration between the
Note-On message and its accompanying Note-Off
message. This parameter is only relevant to Note-
Events.
For example:
Track >_2_____m<
GateTim:003=1/32
•
With the Delay time it is possible to define for each
track a delay interval.
Track >_2_____m<
DelayTi:000=
