3 Patterns
2. Send to setup?
Pressing the control knob at this option sends you to [setups]
mode and allows you to make this pattern a part of the lastselected
setup.
If the setup does not have any parts, this pattern is automatically
assigned to the setup’s part A.
If the setup already has one or more parts, you will be able to add
the pattern in one of the following ways:
1. send to part. The setup’s part will use this pattern. Remember
that a part uses both a program and a pattern. If the part’s
program is set to “(pattern’s pgm)”, then the pattern will sound
just as it does in Patterns mode. Otherwise, the setup will play the
pattern using the part’s own program.
2. layer. The setup’s existing part is duplicated, resulting in a new
part. The pattern is then sent to the new part.
3. split low. The setup’s existing part is split in two at a particular
key.
The Micron prompts for a note on the keyboard at which to
execute the split. The pattern is then sent to the lower part of the
split. Every note below the one you select will use this new pattern.
Every note including and higher than the note you select will use the
setup’s existing part.
The new part is assigned the next letter after the split part. For
example, if the setup contains parts A, B, C, and D, and part B is
the part that gets split, then part C will be the newly-added part.
All later parts’ letters are incremented by one.
To select the split point, turn the control knob or play a key. You
can use the [octave] buttons if your desired split point is outside
of the current key range.
4. split high. The setup’s existing part is split in two at a
particular key.
As with the split low option, the Micron prompts for a note on the
keyboard at which to execute the split. The pattern is then sent to
the upper part of the split. Every note above the one you select will
use this new pattern. Every note including and lower than the note
you select will use the setup’s existing part.
Send to setup only allows the
option of sending the pattern
to the current setup.
Therefore, you may need to
jump out of pattern editing to
choose a setup before
returning to patterns and
following this procedure.
How part letters change
when “layer,” “split low,”
and “split high” are used
When parts are layered or
split high, the new part is
assigned the next letter after
the targeted part. All
subsequent part letters are
incremented by one.
For example, consider a
setup with four existent parts:
A
B
C
D
If we split part B, the result is
as follows:
A
B (low split of B)
C (high split of B)
D (formerly “C”)
E (formerly “D”)
