RHYTHM
Soft key 4 value sets the Gate Type, determining the possible states.
GT1 allows note-off (rests), note-on with 50% and 100% durations.
GT2 is similar to GT1 but also adds the possibility for 32
nd
notes to occur.
S/H allows note-off (rests), note-on with 50% duration, or sustained
notes to occur.
The Zillion defaults with sources 1 and 2 set to ON, the density set to
288, and GT1.
This produces notes of 100% duration to play for every step of the
sequence. If you want to produce notes of 50% duration instead, set one
of the sources to OFF.
To hear more complex rhythms, experiment with various settings for
sources 1 and 2. Once you find one you like, try changing the density to
see how that affects the rhythm. Then try different gate types to see their
affect as well.
