Using preset track patterns
•
Among the MIDI Event parameters in the
Fader Edit menu is one called ‘TrkPat’. This
is short for ‘Track Pattern’ – ready-made
rhythm tracks or sequences for a track.
−
By moving the relevant fader, these patterns
are instantly transferred into the chosen
Track, ready for action.
−
Although the patterns are designed principally
for drum tracks, they can often work just as
well as the basis of a pitched note sequence.
•
In the table on the previous page, all the
originally available Track Patterns are listed.
They can be accessed simply by setting the
fader to any of the numbers from 0: - 57: .
−
An ‘X’ means that a Gate has been
programmed, and a ‘_’ means that there's no
Gate – i.e. the step for that pattern is silent.
−
Each pattern has been given a very basic
name, along with the drum sound (BD = Base
Drum, SD = Snare etc.) with which it was
programmed. It's surprising how similar the
individual tracks for totally different rhythms
can be – it's often how the constituent parts
are combined that makes rhythms unique.
•
You might like to try controlling TrkPat events
not just on one Track and with one fader at a
time, but with more than one.
−
The results can be interesting: instant
craziness.
⇒
Please note that when saving Patterns it's
only the gate information which is stored, not
the settings of the ‘TrkPat’ fader/s.
−
If a really good combination emerges, which
is too good to lose on switching off, then the
only thing to do is to write the settings down.
•
Up till the time of compilign the table, only 58
(0...57) Track Patterns have been
programmed. The rest of the locations (up to
127) may well be full of random code, which
can occasionally produce amusing or useful
results by pure chance.
⇒
If any of these patterns happens to be really
good, it's worth saving them on paper, so that
you can still recall them even if another
software version is loaded into the
REGELWERK , and the original random
patterns are over-written.
•
We'll fill spare locations in future with any
good patterns sent in by REGELWERK users.
