Note Repeat Variations

You can set up eight different Note Repeat variations using the variation buttons and switch between them to bring more variation to your Note Repeat performance.

Variations can trigger both Note Repeat notes and Note Repeat phrases. For example, you can set up repeats with different note values, and then switch between them in real time, or switch between phrases of different complexities.

If a pattern pad and a note repeat variation share the same trigger note, the pattern pad gets priority.

You can copy and paste variation settings between buttons using the commands on the variation button context menu.

Triggering Variations Using MIDI Controllers

If you trigger the variations using MIDI controllers, a variation is activated as soon as the controller value exceeds 64. The last controller value higher than 64 decides which variation to play.

It is recommended to use On/Off buttons or push buttons rather than faders or encoders to control the variation selection. Set the buttons up so that they send a value of 127 when you press the button, and a value of 0 when you release it.

The use of faders or encoder controls is not recommended for the triggering of variations, because they do not offer the required amount of control.

Note Repeat Variations and Sync to Beat

  • If Sync to Beat is activated, the repeated notes always start at the next valid position. If you play a legato to switch between two variations, the repeat phrase is not restarted, but continues from the current beat position.

  • If Sync to Beat is deactivated, the note repeat starts immediately, even if the note is not played on the beat. Phrases are always restarted from the beginning.
