Alesis micron Reference Manual

 

 
To select the split point, turn the control knob or play a key.  You 
can use the [octave] buttons if your desired split point is outside 
of the current key range. 
 
5. 

.  The pattern is added as a brand new part.  All other 

part parameters are set to their default values. 
 
 

Pressing the control knob at this option creates a new setup 
named  
with the pattern’s name and a “+” in front (e.g. “+Liner” and 
“+Bobbetty”) and, if a setup with this name already exists, a 
number at the end (e.g. “+Liner2” and “+Bobbetty2”).   
 

Choose the program that the pattern will use to play its notes. In 
order to quickly jump between program categories, you can hold 
down the [patterns] button and press the white keys labeled with 
category names. 
 
Another way of setting the pattern’s program is to bring it over 
from Programs mode.  Press [programs] to enter Programs 
mode, and find the program that you want.  Then, hold down 
[programs] and press [patterns], and the pattern’s program will 
be set.  This works in the other direction as well–hold down 
[patterns] and press [programs] to bring the pattern’s program 
over to Programs mode, perhaps for some quick editing. 
 

5.  Length 

Select one of 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2 or 4 bars.   
 
The pattern will always play from the first note of the first bar.  So, 
if you select a value shorter than the current one, the latter parts of 
the pattern will be truncated.  If you select a value longer than the 
current one and the latter part of the pattern does not contain any 
notes, the new notes at the end of the pattern will be empty.
