3.8 Clip Length & Position

Default clip length is 1 bar. This however can be changed which will extend the sequence beyond the grid in focus. This can be navigated using the scroll and zoom features. Automatic extending of clips will take place if recorded to a blank clip (no notes or sounds).

Adjusting clip length

  1. Press Shift + turn Turn HorizontalHorizontal control to adjust the clip length. Clockwise to increase length. Anti-clockwise to reduce clip length.
    • The display will show the length in bars : beats : 16th notes.
    • The column pads on the grid will also indicate the clip length by illuminating dim grey for columns outside of the length. The grid columns within the length will be unlit / off.
    • Automatic scrolling will take place if the length is extended further beyond the right side columns. Automatic zooming will take place when clip length is reduced less than half of the grid. 16th note examples:

Duplicating pattern contents - multiply clip length

  1. Press Shift + HorizontalHorizontal to duplicate the clip length once and associated pattern.
    • Automatic zooming out will take place when clip length is increased. The grid resolution time division may automatically change for example from 16th to 8th notes.
    • Multiplying again will therefore ‘double’ the 8th note view.
    • Zoom can be restored and scrolling to view across the entire grid if required.
    • Any iteration dependance settings may be automatically changed when duplicating / multiplying in order to retain the same sounds as the original clip.

Adjusting a clips horizontal note event position

  1. Press VerticalVertical + turn Turn HorizontalHorizontal control to adjust the clip note events i.e. notes and automation horizontally across the grid.
    • The note events will move 1 step incrementally across the horizontal grid. The steps are based on the zoom level.
    • Note events which scroll off the edge left or right will wrap back onto the grid from the opposite side.
