Erica Synths LXR-02 Drum Machine Synthesizer - Manual (Page 14)

Allows the LFO to be retriggered from
different sequencer tracks. Select the
voice that should retrigger the LFO (v1-v6)
and it will reset its phase whenever a
note is played on the selected track.
When the LFO is retriggered, it is reset to
the selected phase offset.
Select the target voice. This parameter
will change the displayed target list of the
destination select parameter.
Select the parameter to modulate. It shows
a list with the short names from all the
parameters of the selected target voice.
MIXER PAGE (MIX)
The mixer page provides access to volume, panning, routing, voice FX and
sequencer track length.
Displayed name Name Description
Adjusts the volume of the voice. vol Voice volume
Voice panning. Only active if output
is set to a stereo channel.
pan Voice panning
Sample rate decimation. sr Sample rate
Soft clipping amount. drv Drive
Selects the hardware audio out for
this voice. The voice can either be
routed to one of the 2 stereo channels
or use the 4 outputs as individual
mono channels or the FX bus.
out Output
The length of the sequencer track
in 16th steps.
len Track length
MIDI channel the voice responds to. ch MIDI channel
MIDI note the instrument responds to.
If set to “any”, the voice can be played
tonally with all notes on the channel.
nte Note
The synth has a sequencer to play and program different drum patterns. The basic
functionality is quite similar to the well known TR-x0x machines, but there is more to it.

6.1. TRACKS
The drum voices are useful but not limited to kick drums, toms, cowbells and other
drum sounds.
SELECT TRACKS
The active track can be changed with the 7 VOICE buttons below the volume faders.
A lit LED on the button shows the selected track.
MUTE TRACKS
If the SHIFT button is held, the sequencer tracks can be muted with the VOICE
buttons. The LEDs of the unmuted voices will light up.
While in performance mode, the function of the VOICE buttons is
inverted. They mute/unmute the tracks without holding SHIFT. This
allows for single-handed operation.

MORPH KITS
A morph kit is a normal kit that is loaded as morph target. Any kit can be loaded as
a morph target.
Loading
> Press LOAD + MORPH
> Select the preset number of the kit you want to load.
> Push the encoder.
> The morph sound is loaded.
> Please note that you won't hear any change if the morph parameter value is set to
zero.
> Use the morph parameter on the performance page to morph the current kit into
the loaded morph kit.
Saving
You can also save the resulting sounds from morph operations. Just press the
SAVE + MORPH buttons and save the sound as a new kit. Instead of the original
sound, the currently playing mixture of the 2 presets will be saved.
Did you know?
If morphing arbitrary presets is too drastic for you, try modifying your
favourite pattern just a little bit and save it to a new location. Now you
can control all tweaked parameters at once!
SONGS
The process to load and save songs is the same as described for the kits. Just use
the button combo Press LOAD + SONG or SAVE + SONG instead.
PATTERNS
Patterns are a special case as they have no name. Loading and saving is done in
a similar fashion like changing patterns in pattern mode.
Loading
> Press LOAD + PATTERN
> The screen will show “Select Pattern, Current: x”
> Now you can use the SEQUENCER and BAR buttons to select the pattern to load.
> If the sequencer is playing, the new pattern will start after the current pattern
has finished playing.
Saving
> Press SAVE + PATTERN
> The screen will show “Save Pattern, Current: x”
> Now you can use the SEQUENCER and BAR buttons to select where to save the
pattern.
> As soon as you press the SEQUENCER button, the display will show “success!”
and the pattern is saved.
PROJECT
The process to load and save project is the same as described for the kits. Just
use the button combo Press LOAD + PROJECT or SAVE + PROJECT instead.
Where Projects are special is in regard to the place where they are saved. All
previous datatypes are loaded from and saved to the non persistent RAM region
where the project data is located. Projects however are saved to the memory
card and are the only way to save kits, songs and patterns so they will be
restored after a power cycle. Projects are containers that are a collection of Kits,
Patterns, Songs and settings.
7.5. PATTERN GENERATOR MODE
The pattern generator provides an easy way to generate interesting poly rhythms
on the fly. You just have to set the desired pattern length and the number of
active steps to generate a new pattern using the euclidean algorithm.
