Behaviors and Automation

Holding a track (in this example the Ar track) intil it blinks while editing a fragment, allows you to specify a number of behaviors and automations (pitching up the track in this example) for the duration of the fragment. Cycle through the parameters pressing the value button, and set the parameters by turning the value button.

The following behaviors are at your disposal via the 'bEhv' setting;

• 'PLay' (play); play sound on the track. If filter was closed down all the way, turn it up all the way. If volume is turned down all the way, turn it up all the way. Pitch is kept.
  
• 'MutE' (mute); mute the track, but keep any pattern play counters going. Close filter, reset pitch, and set volume to 0.
  
• 'Fad.I' (fade in automation); fade in the track in whole or partially. If track was not playing yet and filter was closed down all the way, turn it up all the way. Pitch is kept-as is.
• 'Fad.O' (fade out automation); fade out the track in whole or partially. Filter and pitch are kept as-is.
  
• 'Fil.O' (filter open automation); open the filter cut-off in whole or partially. If track was not playing yet and volume is turned down all the way, turn it up all the way. Pitch is kept-as is.
  
• 'Fil.C' (filter close automation); close the filter cut-off in whole or partially. Volume and pitch are kept as-is.
• 'Pi.UP' (pitch up automation); pitch the track up a specified amount, starting from various starting points. If track was not playing yet and if filter was closed down all the way, turn it up all the way. If track was not playing yet and if volume is turned down all the way, turn it up all the way. The pitch range is one octave.
  
• 'Pi.Dn' (pitch down automation); pitch the track down a specified amount, starting from various starting points. If track was not playing yet and if filter was closed down all the way, turn it up all the way. If track was not playing yet and if volume is turned down all the way, turn it up all the way. The pitch range is one octave.
• 'SLnt' (silent); similar to 'MutE', however allows for any playing notes to ring out, rather than cutting them off immediately.
• 'Gatr' (gater); rhytmically mutes and unmutes the track, selecting from 10 different gating patterns.
  

A 'ParM' setting is available for automations such as the fade in, filter cut-off or pitching automations. This setting specifies a starting point (marked S) or an end point marked 'E'. For example 'S 41' indicates that the automation starts at 41% complete. Some examples on how this is used;

• In the case of a fade in ('Fad.I') this means that the audio starts at 41% volume and progressively creeps to 100%.
• In the case of a fade out ('Fad.O'), this means that the audio starts at 41% volume and progressively creeps to 0%.
• In the case of a pitch up ('Pi.UP') automation, this means that the track starts playing six semitones lower and progressively pitches up until it hits the original pitch.
• In the case of a pitch down ('Pi.Dn') automation, this means that the track starts playing six semitones higher and progressively pitches down until it hits the original pitch.

In another example 'E 41' indicates that the automation ends at 41% complete. Some examples on how this is used;

• In the case of a fade in ('Fad.I') this means that the audio starts at 0% and ends at 41% volume.
• In the case of a fade out ('Fad.O'), this means that the audio starts at 41% volume and progressively creeps to 0%.
• In the case of a pitch up ('Pi.UP') automation, this means that the track starts playing six semitones lower and progressively pitches up until it hits the original pitch.
• In the case of a pitch down ('Pi.Dn') automation, this means that the track starts playing six semitones higher and progressively pitches down until it hits the original pitch.

Automation is persistent until canceled by other automation. This means that, for example, a pitch will remain changed until another automation changes that pitch again in some other way. However, if you need to forcibly cancel any type of automation's effect, you can choose 'Cncl' for the 'ParM' setting. This will cancel any automation for the matching 'bEhv' automation. For exampl, 'Cncl' for the 'ParM' setting, will;

• set the volume to full for the fade in and out behaviors.
• set the open the filter cut-off fully for the filter open and close behaviors.
• set the pitch back to the normal pitch for the pitch behaviors.
  

If you need to cancel multiple automations, you can do so by queuing multiple 0-length fragments.

The 'Parm' setting is a simple 1-10 for the Gater ('Gatr') pattern selection.
