Use these controls to specify a probability for each step of the motif. To select a probability click with the left mouse button and choose an item from the pop-up menu. The probability settings available are...
10% 1/10 chance 25% 1/4 chance 50% 1/2 change 75% 3/4 chance 90% 9/10 chance 100% certain (default setting) +Energy (+E) probability increases as the energy level increases -Energy (-E) probability decreases as the energy level increases +Time (+T) probability increases over time -Time (-T) probability decreases over time
Use motif repetition and probabilities other than 100% to make some steps inactive. A probability of less than 50% has the perceived effect of adding the odd note here and there, while a probability of greater than 50% has the effect of removing the odd note here and there.
Use the Menu button
to affect the whole row at once...
Reset fill with 100% Randomise fill with random probabilities Fill with +Energy fill with positive energy Fill with +Time fill with positive time Fill with Step 1 Probability fill with probability of first step Reverse reverse the order of the probabilities Rotate Left rotate probabilities 1 step to left (earlier in time) Rotate Right rotate probabilities 1 step to right (later in time)
| The careful use of probabilities (together with humanisation) can add "life" to an otherwise repetitive motif. The +Energy and +Time settings can be particularly useful. |
