•
A further Sync parameter related to external MIDI
clock control defines the behavior of the Schaltwerk
regarding incoming MIDI Continue messages.
Sync-Intern/Ext.
Mode:Start; Cont
−
Only incoming Start messages will play the tracks from
their first step.
−
Continue messages will make them play from their
current step position.
Sync-Intern/Ext.
Mode:Start=Cont
−
Both the Start and Continue messages will make the
tracks play from the beginning i.e. first step.
•
Normally, MIDI real-time MIDI messages are sent
simultaneously at both MIDI outputs. There are
however some configurations where this may cause
trouble. This is why the option is offered to
individually enable them.
Mode:MCL1
Mode:MCL2
Mode:MCL1 & MCL2
˘
Mode:no MCL-Out
The default setting is no MIDI real-time messages at none
output.
✓ All settings in the Sync menu are volatile, and
should be reestablished each time the device is
switched on.
7.5 Typical operation
7.5.1 Loading of pattern in the
Pattern edit buffer
•
At startup, pattern 1 is automatically loaded in the
pattern edit buffer.
•
During normal use, this temporary edit buffer can be
overwritten by any one of the 128 pattern presets.
−
This is done by pressing one of the dedicated 32
pattern buttons, which,
−
in conjunction with one of the 4 Pattern-Bank buttons
allow a range of 32 × 4 = 128 patterns to be covered.
7.5.2 Song-Mode inactive
−
No song LED is lit
−
Song-Mode is inactive at power-up
•
When a Pattern (Pattern-Bank) button is pressed, the
related pattern is loaded in the Pattern-Edit-Buffer.
If the same operation was to be performed while the
sequencer is running, the new pattern would instantly
replace the one in the buffer, resulting at best in a glitch
in the rhythm flow, and at worst, in hanging notes, etc.
The human reaction time and behavior of the pattern
buttons are by far too inaccurate to ensure a proper
chaining of patterns.
•
This is why a master track system was adopted.
Therefrom, the currently playing pattern has to elapse
before the new one plays in turn seamlessly.
✓ The master track is locked to track 8.
Track >_______m<
The character “m” in the display is for the master track,
which, when selected is indicated by a capital “M”
instead of number “8”.
•
Until the end of the currently playing pattern is
reached, its LED remains steady lit, while the LED of
the newly called pattern is flashing.
•
At the transition time, the ending pattern LED goes
off, and the starting pattern LED goes on.
