Global P4: Wave Sequence 4–1: Sequence Parameters
667
Loop End Step [1…64]
This is the step on which the loop ends. It must be after
the Loop Start.
Direction [Forwards, Backwards/Forwards,
Backwards]
This sets the direction in which the loop is played.
Forwards plays from the Start Step to the Loop End,
and then skips back to the Loop Start.
Backwards/Forwards plays from the Start Step to the
Loop End, then backwards from the Loop End to the
Loop Start, and then forwards again to the Loop End,
and so on.
Backwards plays from the Start Step to the Loop End,
then backwards from the Loop End to the Loop Start,
and then skips back to the Loop End, and so on.
For instance. let’s say that Repeat Times is set to 1,
Loop Start is set to 2, and Loop End is set to 4. In this
case, the different Loop Directions work as shown
below. The loop itself is shown in
bold italic type.
Forwards: 1, 2, 3, 4,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Backwards: 1, 2, 3,
4, 3, 2, 5, 6.
Backwards/Forwards: 1, 2, 3, 4,
3, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Repeat Times [Off, 1…127, INF]
This sets how many times the loop is repeated.
OFF means that the Loop Start, Loop End, and Loop
Direction parameters have no effect. The Wave
Sequence will play from the Start Step to the End Step,
and then stay at the End Step for the remainder of the
note.
When this is set between 1 and 127, the loop will repeat
the specified number of times. Once the repeats have
finished, it will play through to the End Step, and then
stay there for the remainder of the note.
INF means that the loop will repeat continuously for
the duration of the note.
Note-On Advance [Off, On]
This parameter lets you advance the start point of the
Wave Sequence by one step with each new note-on. If
Repeat Times is not set to Off, this will step through
the loop, paying attention to the loop direction and
number of repeats.
For instance, let’s say that the Wave Sequence Start
Step is 2, and the End Step is 6. Also, the Loop Start is
set to 3, the Loop End is set to 5, and the Loop
Direction is set to Forward.
If Repeat Times is Off, Note-On Advance will make
the Wave Sequence play as follows:
1st note: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
2nd note: 3, 4, 5, 6
3rd note: 4, 5, 6
4th note: 5, 6
5th note: 6
6th note: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
7th note: 3, 4, 5, 6
8th note: 4, 5, 6
9th note: 5, 6
10th note: 6
11th note: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
etc…
If Repeat Times is 1, Note-On Advance will make the
Wave Sequence play as follows:
first note: 2, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 6
2nd note: 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 6
3rd note: 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 6
4th note: 5, 3, 4, 5, 6
5th note: 3, 4, 5, 6
6th note: 4, 5, 6
7th note: 5, 6
8th note: 6
9th note: 2, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 6
10th note: 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 6
11th note: 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 6
12th note: 5, 3, 4, 5, 6
13th note: 3, 4, 5, 6
14th note: 4, 5, 6
15th note: 5, 6
etc…
Finally, if Repeat Times is 1, Note-On Advance will
make the Wave Sequence play as follows. Note that the
Wave Sequence never returns to the start step, since it’s
outside of the loop:
first note: 2, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5…
2nd note: 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5…
3rd note: 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5…
4th note: 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5…
5th note: 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5…
6th note: 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5…
7th note: 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5…
8th note: 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5…
9th note: 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5…
10th note: 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5…
etc…
Note: When Note-On Advance is On, Start Step
modulation is disabled.
Note-On Advance and Key Sync
Note-On Advance is also affected by the setting of the
Key Sync parameter.
If Key Sync is On, the start point will advance by one
step for each note.
If Key Sync is Off, the start point will advance by one
step for each new phrase. For more information, see
“Key Sync,” on page 665.
