because it can simplify a dense GE in an interesting
sounding way. For example, you can turn a comping
keyboard part into a single note bass line.
Note: “Force Mono” and Rhythm Group: “Humanize”
When “Force Mono” is 1: On, the effects of Rhythm:
“Humanize” are removed if Melodic Repeat is being
used at the same time. A GE can be stored with a
normal amount of “Humanize,” so that it can be used
that way with the “Force Mono” parameter off, and
then “Force Mono” can be turned on in real-time. The
reason for this is that the “Force Mono” effect uses the
first note arriving within a section of time (i.e. 16th
notes) to window out the rest of the notes. If the
underlying main notes are slightly late as a result of
“Humanize,” it is possible for overlapping repeated
notes to arrive slightly before them, and then the main
notes get masked out while the repeated notes take
precedence. Since “Humanize” is a randomly varied
amount, this results in a completely unpredictable
sequence of notes in this case, that cannot produce
consistent results. By removing the “Humanize”
amount when “Force Mono” is on with Melodic
Repeat, the result is consistent and predictable.
With drums, when “Force Mono” is 1: On, Humanize
is removed even if not using repeats. This is because
each note in a column of a drum pattern is affected
individually by the Humanize parameter, and the
“Force Mono” effect requires them to all line up on the
same instant in order to allow only one of them to be
produced.
Note: “Force Mono” and Cluster Group: “Strum”
When “Force Mono” is 1: On, the effects of the “Strum”
parameter are removed, since no clusters can be
generated.
