Vel Mode
This option specifies how the velocity of the notes you play affects the notes of the
phrase.
The following options are available:
Option
Original
As Played
Original +
As Played
Sync
To synchronize the phrase to the tempo of your host application, activate Sync.
In addition, you can set the Restart mode to "Sync to Host". This aligns the phrase
with the beats and measures of your host application.
Tempo
When Sync is deactivated, use the Tempo control to set the internal playback speed
of the FlexPhraser. The playback speed of the phrase is specified in Beats per Minute
(BPM). In addition, Tempo Scale gives you further control over the playback speed.
The Tempo control is not available when Sync is activated.
Tempo Scale
This parameter defines the rate at which notes are triggered, in other words, the
speed at which the phrase is running. You can specify a value in fractions of beats.
You can also set dotted and triplet note values.
When the Tempo parameter is 1/16 and you set this value to 1/8, for example, the
speed is cut to half. When you set it to 1/32, the speed is doubled. Other values
increase or decrease the speed accordingly.
Swing
Use this parameter to shift the timing of notes on even numbered beats. This way, the
phrase gets a swing feeling. Negative values shift the timing backward, and the notes
are played earlier. Positive values shift the timing forward, and the notes are played
later.
Gate Scale
This parameter allows you to shorten or lengthen the notes of the phrase. At a value of
100 %, the notes play with their original gate length.
Vel Scale
This parameter allows you to raise or lower the note-on velocities of the phrase. At a
value of 100 %, the notes are played with their original velocity.
Octaves
This setting extends the phrase playback to include higher or lower octaves. Positive
settings extend the playback to higher and negative settings to lower octaves. For
example, a value of +1 first plays the phrase in the octave range you originally played.
Then, it repeats the phrase one octave higher.
Description
The notes of the phrase play with the velocity saved with the phrase.
The notes of the phrase play with the velocity you are playing on the
keyboard.
The phrase velocity is determined by the combination of the velocity
saved with the phrase and the velocity of your playing.
