Try changing some of the numbers around and play the keyboard again, noticing the dierence in the order
of the samples.
You can also change the number of articulations in the pattern, by dragging the split count indicator up or
down:
Alternatively, click on the split count and type in a new value with the keyboard:
is enables us to have a simpler or more complex pattern. For example, you might just want a simple
three-part pattern that gives you two short notes followed by a longer note. In this case we would set the
split count to 3 and change the pattern to something like 1-1-2 (Staccato-Staccato-Quarter Note repeating).
On the other hand, you might want a very complex pattern that covers a whole phrase or line of music. In
that case you increase the split count to as many notes as you need up to a maximum of 32. Then you
change the articulations to cover your musical phrase note by note.
Multiple Patterns
So far we have worked with a single pattern, but we can have up to 32 dierent
patterns to work with. Click the New button to add more patterns.
Each pattern can be given a custom name as well. Just double-click on the name and change it:
You can change between patterns using either a MIDI controller or a key switch. e key switch method is
similar to a Key Switch dimension: assign an otherwise unused area of the keyboard, and when you strike a
key in this area the corresponding pattern will be selected.
