9. Order (arpeggios only)
When you hold down more than one note, you can specify the order
in which they will be arpeggiated:
• The order in which they were initially pressed (called as
played).
• Up. The arpeggiator plays the notes you are holding
from the bottom to the top. Once the top note is
reached, the arpeggio begins from the bottom again.
• Down. The arpeggiator plays the notes you are holding
from the top to the bottom. Once the bottom note is
reached, the arpeggio begins from the top again.
• Up+Down Incl. This mixes the up and down settings,
playing up the notes you are holding and repeating the
top note and the bottom note. The incl stands for
inclusive.
• Up+Down Excl. This mixes the up and down settings,
playing up the notes you are holding without repeating
the top note and the bottom note. The excl stands for
exclusive.
• Octave Jump. The arpeggiator plays the notes you are holding but plays the first note in two or
more octave registers before playing the second note, which it also plays in two or more octave
registers, etc.
• Random. The arpeggiator plays the notes you are holding down in a random order.
10. Real-time recording
Once you've reached the "record" parameter, you'll hear the
metronome start to click. Use this "lead-in" time to get yourself into
the groove. (As always, if the tempo isn't right, you can use the
[TAP TEMPO] button to adjust it.)
Once you're ready to play, just start playing. The MINIAK will begin
recording from the first note of the Sequence. Alternately, if you
don't want to play from the first note, you can push the DATA DIAL
to kick off the recording.
The Sequence will loop continuously, so you can add to it each time
it comes around. When recording in real-time, remember that
playing will never erase anything you've already recorded. To wipe
out a section so you can replay it, hold down the DATA DIAL as it
gets played back.
To stop recording, turn the DATA DIAL or press a mode button.
You will often want to clear the entire Sequence and start over. One
way of doing this is to hold down the DATA DIAL and wipe out the
Sequence as you record. But a quicker way is to hold down the
[SEQUENCES] button and hit the highest note on the keyboard.
This is a shortcut to the "Clear Sequence?" option.
The MINIAK records not only the keys you play, but all movements
of the (PITCH), (MOD1), and (MOD2) wheels. These controller
movements don't even need to be recorded at the same time as the
keys. A useful technique is to play the keys first, and then when the
recording loops around, play on the controllers to add some life to
your notes. If you do this, you will probably also be using the "Clear
controllers?" option as well, so you can revise your controller
movements until you're satisfied.
Arpeggios or Sequences
?
Arpeggios contain Rhythm and
velocity (relative volume)
information.
Sequences contain not only
Rhythm and velocity information
but also pitch information.
Use arpeggios for computer-
generated patterns.
Use sequences for melodies and
basslines.
Octave Jum
p
: To hear Octave
Jump in action, Span should not
be set to "single note."
Time displa
y
: The MINIAK
displays time as "bar:beat:tick".
There are four beats in a bar, and
120 ticks in a beat.
Three-step beats land on 0, 40,
and 80.
Four-step beats land on 0, 30, 60,
and 90.
Five-step beats land on 0, 24, 48,
72, and 96.
Changing the metronom
e
The metronome you hear when
recording is, in fact, just another
Sequence. It is named "*
Metronome", and appears near
the beginning of the Sequence
list. You are free to edit this
Sequence all you like. For
example, you can choose a
different program, or put the clicks
on eighth notes or triplets instead
of quarter notes. A quick way of
disabling the metronome entirely
is to simply rename this
Sequence and store it. You can
always bring back the metronome
later with another rename.
