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