6.2.3 Step/Condition
•
Beside this, there is also for each MIDI event another
important aspect, if not the most important stylistic
attribute the Schaltwerk offers, namely, the fact
whether each prearranged MIDI event will be sent or
not.
−
There is for each step a dedicated LED, indicating
whether the related event at that particular place in the
row, will be sent (LED on) or not (LED off).
−
With that, it is now possible to make quick changes on
the fly, as each step has also a button dedicated, with
which the event can be switched on or off. These push-
buttons work in a toggle manner, that is, if a step is
currently switched on and the button is depressed, the
step will be switched off, and vice-versa.
☎ In special editing modes, these dedicated Step
buttons can also be used to call the step to edit.
•
The Step LED’s have some additional functions,
−
as the report of the currently active step = run through
or blink very slowly,
−
The report of the Step edit values (related notes &
velocity values) = fast blinking.
−
And the step position in Rec-Step-Mode = slow
blinking.
6.3. Track
•
In the upper organization level, 16 steps are grouped to
make a track.
6.3.1 Global Track parameters
•
A track has several parameters which are global for the
16 steps, these are:
−
The MIDI Event Type,
−
its MIDI channel,
−
the base note number,
−
base velocity,
−
Step time,
−
Gate length,
−
Delay time,
−
Start & End steps,
−
Run mode, and
−
various effect parameters
All 16 steps of a track share this common set of
parameters, an individual setting of each step is not
possible. Nevertheless, this set of global parameters can
be different for each track.
6.3.2 Track Select button
•
For that purpose, each track possesses a Track Select
button and an associated LED. Through them, a track
can be immediately selected, as it is confirmed by the
illumination of the appropriate LED. All the track edit
operations apply to the track whose LED is currently
lit. (In special edit modes, there can be several tracks
selected simultaneously)
6.3.3 Track mute button
•
This second main control available for each track is
the On button. Its use is a matter of taste and depends
also on the mode setting. The function is always the
same: The tracks whose On LED’s are lit will
transmit their MIDI data, when their LED’s are off,
the tracks will run as usually but no data is
transmitted. Switching On and Off is accomplished by
pressing the appropriate On button.
☎ The well-known Mute function is available if,
while in the Edit Mode menu, [mutemode:multi]
is selected, and will act as a solo function when
[mutemode:single] is selected.
