MASKS

The MASKS bay

Masks constrain what the selected track may play. Like the TRACK controls, they are stored per track.

Pitch

Control What it does
SCALE only notes in the scale
ROOT · MODE the key: root note and scale (major, natural minor, modes, pentatonics, harmonic and melodic minor…)
REGISTER the lowest and highest note allowed (only with SCALE on)

Rhythm

Control What it does
RHYTHM guide where notes start
GRID onsets lean toward a grid of UNIT steps, as much as STRENGTH says
EXACT notes start only on the steps you draw: click a step to toggle it, Shift-click for its accent

The screen shows the bar's steps for the scene's time signature.

Remix

Control What it does
REMIX vary the existing notes instead of writing new ones: keep the rhythm, change the notes
AMOUNT the share of the notes that change, 5–100%: at least one note changes, all of them at 100%
P+D change pitch and duration (off: pitch only)

Remix replaces the rhythm settings on the same track. Under POLY LIM or DENS LIM (ENGINE) the limit wins: a chord wider than the limit, or a bar with more notes, comes back with fewer notes.

Note

Which masks a model supports depends on the model: unsupported ones are dimmed.
