Dividing the Pattern data to create a
new Pattern—[F6] Remix
The Remix function divides the MIDI data in a selected
track into several pieces of a specified note length, and
randomly rearranges a portion of the data, letting you
easily create completely new and unique rhythm
variations—all from a single Pattern.
n When Remix is used on a track containing a sliced sample
voice, the various segments of the sample are rearranged with
varied timing. The sample voices can be created by executing
the Sampling with the Sampling Type set to “slice+seq” or
executing the Sample Slice Job.
n The Remix display is available only when the cursor is located
on the track containing data.
1 Type
Determines how a single measure is divided. The dividing
point and the amount differ depending on the Type setting
here. The diagram of the selected Type will be shown. See
below (4).
Settings: 1 – 16
2 Variation
Determines how the segments divided by Type (1) will be
rearranged. The division and rearrangement rules differ
depending on the Variation setting.
Settings: normal 01 – 16, reverse 01 – 16, break 01 – 16, pitch 01 –
16, roll 01 – 16, fill 01 – 48
normal 01 – 16
The divided data is only rearranged. 16 variations are provided.
reverse 01 – 16
In addition to rearrangement of the divided data, some portions of the
data may be played in reverse. 16 variations are provided.
break 01 – 16
In addition to rearrangement of the divided data, some portions of the
data may be deleted to create breaks. 16 variations are provided.
pitch 01 – 16
In addition to rearrangement of the divided data, some portions of the
data may be pitch-shifted. 16 variations are provided.
roll 01 – 16
In addition to rearrangement of the divided data, some portions of the
data may be played with a roll effect. 16 variations are provided.
fill 01 – 48
In addition to rearrangement of the divided data, some portions of the
data may be played with fill-in. 48 variations are provided.
3 Interval
Determines the measure interval with which the Remix
operation is executed. In other words, this parameter
determines the measures to which Remix is applied. When
this parameter is set to “1,” Remix is applied to all
measures. When set to “2,” Remix is applied to the data of
the 2nd measure, 4th measure, 6th measure, and so on.
When set to “3,” Remix is applied to the data of the 3rd
measure, 6th measure, 9th measure, and so on.
The measures to which Remix is applied are shown on the
display. See below (5).
Settings: 1 – 8
4 Type diagram
Indicates the division point and the amount of division
determined by Type (1). The diagram below indicates the
division points in 16th note resolution. When Type is set to
“1,” for example, the data is divided at the upbeat before
beat 4. When Type is set to “2,” the data is divided at three
points: the upbeat before beat 2, the downbeat of beat 3,
and the upbeat before beat 4.
5 Interval diagram
Indicates the measures to which the Remix is applied.
These measures are located at the same interval
determined by the Interval (3) parameter. The example
below results when setting the Interval (3) to “2.”
