SLIDE
The default behavior for parameter locks is that the value changes exactly when the step is
played. By using the slide function, the parameter value changes made by parameter locks
can be slid smoothly between the locked values. The slide tracks are saved as part of the
pattern.
1.
The SLIDE window is called by pressing [SLIDE] while holding [FUNCTION].
2.
Select the track you want to edit the slide track for using the [TRACK] keys.
The <TRIG> LED’s indicate which steps will slide, and the [TRIG] keys are used to switch
their state. If your pattern is longer than 16 steps, use the [SCALE] key to cycle between
the pages.
For a parameter to slide it needs to be locked at two steps. If the slide track is set for the
same step as there is a parameter lock, the parameter will slide to the next value it is
locked to. The speed of the slide is relative to the current tempo. The slide is always com-
pleted exactly when the next step with the same parameter locked is reached.
•
Only parameters locked on the steps selected in the slide track, and on a later
step, will slide. Parameters that are unlocked, or only locked at one step will not
slide.
•
If there are trigs in between the two locked parameter where the parameter is not
locked, the parameter will slide between the two locked positions and is not inter-
rupted by the unlocked trigs in the middle.
•
Copy, clear, paste and undo functions are available on the slide tracks using
[FUNCTION]+[REC]/[PLAY]/[STOP]
The figure ”Slide illustration” below show an example of how the slide track influence a
locked parameter. The first slide trig makes the parameter slide to the next locked parame-
ter value. Even though there is a trig in the middle it does not interrupt the slide. When the
destination is reached the locked value is held and not slid, as there is no slide trig for that
position. For the last three slide trigs, it is only the middle one that is causing any slide, as
the other slide trigs do not have any parameter locked at the same step.
