•
When the number of iterations is set to 128, another
special function is activated. In this case, the pattern
will not play 128 times, but instead, will execute a
jump. The target pattern is specified with the pattern
buttons.
Song001 Step:003
Jstep021 -*:128
−
the above display means that, at Song-Step 3, a jump to
step 21 is taken, and that the song execution will
continue from there.
•
While the song is running, it is possible to select
manually a pattern and affect the course of the song.
The then selected pattern will play until the execution
resumes to the pattern defined as next step in the song.
This operation loads a new pattern in the edit buffer as
would the automatic song sequence execution.
✑ All parameters such as mute, timing settings, etc.
can also be edited during the song play.
7.4.14.2 Running song report
•
Besides the simple display of the pattern number
during song play, the next function of the menu offers a
monitor mode where the current song status is also
shown.
The display will be very similar to the previous one:
Song001 Step:001
Patt.001 > 002
•
To the exception that the running song is now indicated
by a right-shifting “
> ” character.
•
The value appearing down right (002 in our example)
is not the number of iterations defined for the step, but
rather an iteration down-counter going towards zero as
the pattern plays repeatedly.
•
The rotary encoder allows you to alter this value on the
fly, while the song is running. The actual value as
defined in the song remains unaffected.
•
Doing so, it is possible to alter the number of times a
pattern will play, even during the song performance.
7.4.13.3 Inserting steps in the song chain
Song001 Step:003
Insert-Steps:002
Two empty steps will be inserted at step position 3.
7.4.14.4 Deleting steps in the song chain
Song001 Step:003
Delete-Steps:002
Two steps will be deleted from step position 3.
7.4.15 MIDI remote menu
•
Jointly with the control of the effect menu or the
reception of SysEx messages, the MIDI inputs of the
Schaltwerk have several other uses.
−
Through the use of Program-Change messages, it is
possible to select
−
the 128 patterns
−
or the 16 songs.
−
To begin with, the MIDI channels defined to receive
the song or pattern selection must be set. Furthermore,
this is also the place to define different controller
numbers for the ArpHold and ChordHold functions.
−
><><><><><><
MIDI-Assign-Menu
PatternChan:XXX
MIDI-Assign-Menu
SongChannel:YYY
Set the MIDI channels for XXX, as Pattern-Change, and
YYY, as Song-Change.
•
Usually, the channel numbers set for pattern and song
changes will be different, as a value of 128 pattern is
using the full potential of different Program-Changes
available in a single MIDI channel.
•
The next step is to define a correspondence table
between pattern numbers and Program-Change
numbers. The same can be done for songs.
−
In case of multiple assignation of Program-Change
values, the foremost Pattern/Song will be selected.
•
Press then the necessary Pattern (and Pattern-Bank)
button(s), then adjust the rotary encoder to link a
Program-Change to that pattern.
