then create complex, varied repetitions of your basic shape with the rhythm
editor.
Direction
Use the direction buttons to select a basic panning direction. This
determines the basic (under the hood) shape that you will build your
rhythm with. Left-to-Right corresponds to a “Ramp Up” shape, Right-to-
Left corresponds to a “Ramp Down” shape, and Back-and-Forth
corresponds to a “Triangle” shape. The underlying shapes aren’t so
important - it’s the panning motions that each shape creates that you
should focus on.
Rhythm
You can also choose specific rhythmic divisions using the “Rhythm” menu.
You can select from one of the included simple rhythms by clicking on the
Rhythm LED display, which will launch a pop-up showing the available
preset options. Simply highlight the desired rhythmic interval with your
mouse and let go. You can also use the two nudge buttons to move through
the various rhythm choices. Finally, selecting the “Edit” option will open up
the Rhythm Pattern Editor.
Groove
The Groove control is used to adjust the feel and define the amount of
“swing” feel to be added to the selected rhythm pattern. Turning the knob
will add a ‘swing’ feel to the rhythm. Turning the knob down will add a
‘shuffle’ feel.
