- Variations
-
Trip features four variations that allow you to set up different phrases or variations of phrases or loops. Click the variation buttons to switch between the variations.
NoteTo avoid that the variation switches in the middle of a beat or measure, use the trigger modes Next Beat or Next Measure.
- Loop
-
If this option is activated, the phrase plays in a loop.
- Hold
-
Allows you to prevent the phrase from stopping or changing when the keys are released.
-
If Off is selected, the phrase changes as soon as you release a key. The phrase stops immediately when you release all keys.
-
If On is selected, the phrase plays to the end, even if the keys are released. If Loop is activated, the phrase repeats continuously.
-
If Gated is selected, the phrase starts to play when the first key is played. It plays silently in the background, even if the keys are released, and resumes playback at the current position when you press any of the keys again. This way, you can gate the playback of the phrase.
-
- Trigger Mode
-
Determines at which moment the arpeggiator scans for new notes that you play on the keyboard.
-
If Immediately is selected, the arpeggiator continuously scans for new notes. The phrase changes immediately in reaction to your playing.
-
If Next Beat is selected, the arpeggiator scans for new notes at every new beat. The phrase changes in reaction to your playing on each new beat.
-
If Next Measure is selected, the arpeggiator scans for new notes at the start of new measures. The phrase changes in reaction to your playing on each new measure.
-
- Restart Mode
-
-
If this is set to Off, the phrase runs continuously and does not restart at chord or note changes.
-
New Chord restarts the phrase on new chords.
NoteThe phrase does not restart upon notes that are played legato.
-
New Note restarts the phrase with each new note that you play.
-
Sync to Host aligns the phrase with the beats and measures of your host application each time that you start the transport.
-
- Tempo Scale
-
Defines the rate at which notes are triggered, that is, the speed at which the phrase is running. In addition to the Tempo parameter, this gives you further control over the playback speed. You can specify a value in fractions of beats. You can also set dotted and triplet note values.
For example, if you change the Tempo Scale setting from 1/16 to 1/8, the speed is cut in half. If you set it to 1/32, the speed is doubled.
- Swing
-
Shifts 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
-
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
-
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
-
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 that you originally played. Then, it repeats the phrase one octave higher.
