Advanced Tutorial 2: Fills and Programming Triggers
Fills
A Fill in the CR is a user-triggered drum fi ll that is designed to be used in performance to add accents
or for whenever else you’d want to add a drum fi ll. The Fill that is generated in the CR is simply a
set of consecutive triggers of varying note length (1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 and 1/64 either straight, as
triplets, or dotted notes).
As an example, let’s say we are playing our standard techno/house pattern and we have added
another output on Channel 4, in this case, Tiptop’s 808 Cowbell module. We want to use the Cowbell
for fi lls. To fi re our fi ll, we press the Fill button from the 1st function column. Fill is now green. When
you want to trigger your fi ll, press the Trig4 button (for Channel output 4) and you’ll hear your cowbell
fi ll at 16th notes until you stop holding down the Trig4 button. If wanted to fi re a fi ll on Channel 3 (our
Tiptop Snare module from previous examples), you would press down Trig3. Each Trig# button is
associated with the same numbered output Channel.
