You can program the statistical PROBABILITY of playing a step on

the PĒRKONS HD-01, meaning that a step will be played at, for

example, a 25% probability when the sequencer is activating the step.

To do so, push and hold the relevant step button while pushing and

holding the PROB button and then push one of the TAP buttons.

10%, 25%, 50% and 90% probabilities of playing a step are available.

An example to the left shows a PROBABILITY of 25% programmed on

step 4 of the fourth voice.

Push and hold a step button and press the RATCHET, ODDS1, ODDS2

and PROBABILITY buttons to inspect which of these per-step settings

have been applied to the step.

You may want to design a Hi-Hats track with closed and open hats,

and specific steps need a longer decay. On the PĒRKONS HD-01 you

can per step record any voice parameter changes as a parameter

lock. To do so, push and hold the step button and alter any control

(a knob or a switch) in the relevant voice section. Once the button

is released the position of the control is automatically saved.

An example to the left shows opening of the filter on the fifth step

on the first voice. Please note, parameter locks do not apply to

the master section.

You can also do parameter automations for all voices simultaneously.

To do so, push and hold the SHIFT button and rotate, for example, any

TUNE knob. The tune will be altered for all four voice simultaneously.

PER-STEP PARAMETER LOCKS

This feature can come in handy if you want to copy a step with

specific parameter locks and paste it elsewhere in the sequence.

To do this, push and hold the step you want to copy and press REC

once. The step has been copied! To paste it, activate a new step and

hold it or push and hold an existing step and press SHIFT once - the

parameter locks of the copied step have been pasted! Please note

that you can only copy and paste steps within the sequence of a

single voice - you cannot copy/paste between the voices.
