NOTES
6.5 Range & Phrase Overview.
Range and Phrase are another parameter pair that work closely together to
create melodic phrases with the source of notes coming from the pattern
and the track pitch note menu placements. A Phrase is a predefined shape
for generating melodic passages. Range expands the amount of pitch
variation within the current scale for the selected Range and also controls
the phrase rate. Essentially, a Phrase will act as a melody generator and
the note range is controlled by the Range parameter.
The behaviour of how these notes are played out is governed by which of
the 8 Phrase options is active and how much range and rate is applied. In
reality there is a 9
th Phrase option which uses and external CV input - CV
Mod to generate the melodic phrase. This is covered elsewhere.
(1) All T-1 Parameters have a symbiotic relationship, meaning what is set on
one can affect another and vice versa. For example the melodic output when
setting a phrase and range will also be affected by the style and voicing. Bear
in mind that changing one of multiple parameters will ultimately affect the
output pattern.
