Performance Modes Random Mode

Random Mode

The Random Mode is assigned to layers 8 — 11.

Random Mode Operation

If you press an LED button long enough to enter an active note in the Random Mode, the active note will play back repeatedly. If you then enter a few more active notes, the lights will "travel" from note to note, in the order entered, and the active notes will sound when the traveling light passes over them. The Random Mode thus produces a totally different type of loop from the Score Mode.

❊The next active note will play at the specified 1-beat timing. The length of each beat can be adjusted via the Loop Speed parameter (Loop Speed ➝ Page 29, 51. Master Loop Speed ➝ Page 45).

You can even spin loop-shapes you create in the Random Mode by holding the [L4] button and running a finger around the matrix in the direction and at the speed of the desired spin. The pitches of the notes will change accordingly as the shape spins, producing loop sound effects.

Press an LED button briefly to play the sound assigned to it. If you hold the LED button a bit longer it will remain lit and will become an active note. Press and hold an active note to deactivate it (the LED button will go out).

❊The press-and-hold time for note entry can be changes as required. (Push Sensitivity ➝ Page 60)

❊The note length (gate time) can be changed as required. (Sound Length ➝ Page 25, 52)

As in the Score Mode the factory default scale for the vertical axis is an ionian scale, corresponding to the white keys on a piano. Nothing is assigned to the horizontal axis, but the timing between notes will depend on the distance between the notes on the matrix.
