CHAPTER NINE
Customizing GURU: the Options panel
Click on the Options button on the GURU toolbar in order
to access the Options panel. The GURU Options allow you
to customize many aspects of its functionality and, in many
cases, significantly change how it normally works. They are
provided in order to allow a little more flexibility for different
workflows.
Options are saved with songs, as well as to a preferences file.
9:1 MIDI Options
• Pads respond to MIDI velocity
If you choose, you can set Pads not to respond to MIDI veloc-
ity by disabling this option – they will always be played at the
highest velocity (127) when triggered.
• Selected Pad assigned chromatically to Pat-
tern keys during Record
With this option enabled, the current Pad is mapped chromati-
cally to the Pattern keys (and their MIDI note equivalents)
during Record mode. The first Pattern key is 1 octave below
the original Pad, with the rest of the keys’ tuning increasing 1
semitone with each key (the root-pitched sample is located on
the 13th Pattern key, C4).
Events are recorded to the selected Pad’s lane in the current
Pattern, with Pitch Graph values being generated to recre-
ate the different pitches of the notes entered. This is useful
for making melodic sequences, especially using the Osc Pad
effects.
When you are in Record-armed and Record modes, the Pat-
tern keys will light up, and you’ll be able to hear the pitch-
scaled Pad over their range when they are clicked/played.
• Selected Pad assigned with scaled velocities
to Pattern keys in Record mode
This option maps the current Pad with scaled velocities to
the Pattern keys (and their corresponding MIDI notes) during
Record mode. The first Pattern key has the lowest velocity,
with each subsequent Pattern key having a higher velocity
than the last.
