PHRASE BUILDER
CHAPTER 08
/ PHRA
SE BUILDER
The idea behind the Phrase Builder category is to provide composers and
producers with broken down phrases that can be manipulated to create
original performances. Each phrase is broken down into micro-phrases.
Each cluster of mapped samples can be played together in whichever order.
There are multiple clusters of samples mapped with each patch. These
clusters can form a full performance. Typically, open strums are mapped
furthest left on the MIDI keyboard, preceded by various strumming patterns,
plucking patterns, and melodies. Each sample loop and each group can
have individual FX applied when the Global FX Switch is switched off.
• Patch Title - Each patch includes the BPM each performance was
performed at. This is useful information since each patch is tempo synced
and will automatically sync to the host.
• Global FX - When on, the FX will be applied to all groups. When off, the
FX will be applied to only the selected group
• MIDI Select - When on, the Group Display Tab will display the group being
triggered on the MIDI keyboard. When off, the text will remain static
• Group Display Tab - Displays the group being triggered by the MIDI
keyboard
• Group Fader - Controls the volume of selected group
• Group Tuner - Changes the tuning of selected group
• Group Pan - Controls the panning of selected group
As mentioned above, each sample in each patch automatically syncs to host
tempo. Each patch portrays a different genre providing a wide array of use.
