To nudge left make sure the mouse cursor is in the left hand half of the track. Nudge mode allows you to shift an entire track left or right in single step increments. In nudge mode the mouse cursor changes to a left/right style icon depending on its position in a track. The editing mode can be selected via the S/N/C button (Standard / Nudge / Copy) The sequencer defaults to standard editing mode which is everything covered so far in this article. Alt(⌥) + Shift(⇧) + click to set all last steps simultaneously.Shift (⇧) + click to set step as ‘last step’.Alt (⌥) + drag up/down to change step ‘probability’.Command (⌘) + drag up/down to change step velocity.For example you may have a kick drum looping every 16 steps but other percussive sounds may loop every 5, 7 or 9 steps creating a kind of ‘poly-rhythmic’ effect. Coupled with the step probability feature Elecktroid is capable of some very unique and dynamic drum rhythms. Custom Track LengthsĮlecktroid features custom track lengths for each track in a pattern. Experiment with this feature to get a feel for how it affects your rhythms. This allows you to create non repetitive patterns that vary subtly over time or sound radically different with each pass. 25% = a 1 in 4 chance and 75% means 3 out of 4 triggers will fire for a given step. What does this do? With a probability value of 50% there is a 1 in 2 chance of the step firing. Step ProbabilityĮlecktroid allows you to assign a probability value to any step in a track. Steps default to 100% velocity (loudest) and 100% probability (always on). Velocity and probability values can be assigned to any step. When on (red) the step fires and when off the step passes silently. Combined these features allow for the creation of very dynamic rhythmic material.Įach step in the sequencer is a simple on/off trigger switch. The sequencer section in Elecktroid provides 8 drum tracks and a number of advanced features such as custom track lengths, step probability and control graph editing.
