Phrase Editor

With the Phrase Editor you can compose musical phrases that will be activated when specific notes are played. How a phrase is played across a key range can be changed. Phrases are created and edited using a scaled-down version of the Pattern Editor.

Phrase Options

Play: Start/stop playing the phrase.
Stop: Stop phrase playback.
Record: Toggle Edit Mode. With Edit Mode enabled, all notes played via the keyboard are recorded into the phrase. Notes can be recorded either while the phrase is stopped or playing.

Edit Step: Sets how many lines the cursor should skip down in the Phrase Editor when entering a note or effect.
Vol/Pan/Dly: Toggles the volume, panning and delay sub-columns.
FX: Quickly show and add phrase effect commands.

Presets: Load and save phrase presets.
X: Close the Phrase Editor.

Lines per Beat: This changes the number of lines in the Phrase Editor that make up a musical beat. The higher the LPB, the greater the resolution available to you for editing notes and effects.
Loop: Toggles whether the phrase will repeat while a key is held down.
Key Tracking: Sets the behaviour of the phrase across a key range.
- None: The phrase is played exactly the same for all keys.
- Transpose: The pitch of the phrase's notes are transposed to the key played. The playback speed of the phrase is unaffected.
- Offset: The key pressed will cause the phrase to begin playing from different lines (lower keys from earlier in the phrase, higher keys from later).
Base Note: The note representing the original pitch of the phrase when "Key Tracking" is set to "Transpose". This can also be changed by right-clicking on the keyboard (the current Basenote is shown there as a black circle).
