These questions are all about.. (wait for it!) ... timing!
In a 4/4 song, imagine a 4-beat (1 bar) bass phrase, transposable, played by zone 1 keys, looping.
If I release a C key in zone 1 and play an F in zone 1,
- when does the transposition happen? immediately? quantized to a quarter note?
- when does the phrase retrigger (start over at the beginning)? quantized to the next "beat 1" (start of new bar)?
What if I play the new note ahead of the beat, or behind the beat? Does that get the phrase onto the wrong quarter note? Or off the beat entirely?
Is there a stage setting with such a setup?
Are these answers in the documentation somewhere?
These questions are based on an (imagined ?) model where the phrase always finishes (all 4 beats) once it starts, it always starts on beat 1, it can transpose mid-phrase (possibly with some quantization restrictions), and can tolerate some amount of timing slop on the part of the player.
Whew! Still reading? Thanks!
