Alesis micron Reference Manual

 

 
g.  Split? 
Split allows you to create a new beat by splitting the key range of 
the current part.  After the split, one beat will use the keys below 
the split point, and the other beat will use the keys above. The two 
beats will otherwise be identical.   
 
If you choose to split a beat, the Micron will prompt you to select 
the key on the keyboard where the split should occur.  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. 
 
The newly-created beat will be assigned the next letter after the 
current part’s letter.  All subsequent beat letters will be 
incremented by one. 
 
h.  Layer? 
Choose layer to duplicate the current beat.   
 
The newly-created beat will be assigned the next letter after the 
current beat’s letter.  All subsequent beat letters will be 
incremented by one. 
 
i.  Remove? 
Choose remove to remove the current beat.  All subsequent beats 
will be re-lettered accordingly. 
 

After turning the control knob past all of the current beats, you 
will be able to add a beat.  At the add screen, push the control 
knob to add a new beat.   
 
Note that adding beats using the add feature always adds them after 
the last beat.  To insert a beat in between others, use the split or 
layer functions from within the beat editing screens.
