When you ask for one to four instances of a
96-step
waveform, you
can choose
between
sawtooth,
sine, pulse,
triangle,
and two types
of
parabolic
curves. Before you
hear
any results
from
the selected
controller,
you will need to
enable
it via the
activation
menu to the
right of the display, which
defaults
to off. When
controller
output
is
disabled,
data in the display
appears
grayed
out. The activation
menu
lets you stop
effecting
the
target
device's sound for
whatever
reason
without losing
entered
settings, and it also lets you invert all
control
values,
changing
the
background
color as a
reminder.
The
direction
options
menu lets you disable any play
direction
changes
that come
from
the Note Editor, so that the
controller
or
bend
pattern
always loops in one
direction.
Note that by using the
activation
menu's
invert play option you can effectively flip the
display of some
control
waveforms
horizontally
so that they read
from
right to left. Should you then choose to
narrow
vertically the
resulting
waveform
by
adjusting
the
compression
percentage
, you
will need to
re-enter
the
waveform
to see and
hear
the result.
When you press any of the
three
follow
buttons
for notes,
velocities, or octaves In the Control A or B windows, steps are
synced to note
resolution,
and a
pattern
similar to the note
editor's
values, but vertically
stretched,
appears
in the display. This function
processes
values to be
proportionate
within the
controller
range
of 0
though
127, letting you tie a
controller
imaginatively
to scale steps.
You can
rotate
values up or down in the Control and Bend displays
by
means
of right side vertical arrow
buttons
, and all values
0-127
wrap
around
the
range.
Instead
of including a second set of arrow
buttons
to move values
horizontally,
the Control and Bend windows
have a start
step
setting to
time-shift
values relative to the Note
Editor's
pattern
set. The Bend window, with
default
values of 64, has
similar
pattern
entry
functions,
but lacks the "follow"
function
buttons
that allow
expanded
echoing
of Note Editor
patterns.
You can set

range by
