Alesis micron User Manual

 

Split allows you to create a new part by splitting the key range 
of the current part.  After the split, one part will use the keys 
below the split point, and the other part will use the keys 
above. The two parts will otherwise be identical.   
 
If you choose to split a part, 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 part will be assigned the next letter after 
the current part’s letter.  All subsequent part 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.
