Alesis micron Manuel D’Utilisation

 

Adjust the transposition over a four-octave range.  This does 
not affect the MIDI notes that the part responds to.  It 
simply  
changes the pitch at which the program is played. 

 
i. Latch 

Set the latch status of the part to latched or not latched.  The 
default is not latched. 
 
When latch is on, the part will continue playing after you 
remove your hands from the keys, as if the sustain pedal were 
held down.  To release the latched notes, let up on all of the 
keys and then play a new note or chord.  To stop the part 
entirely, switch to another setup or press a mode button. 
 
Latching is especially useful when you have more parts than 
you have hands, or if your parts don't all fit within the 
Micron's three-octave key range. If your bassline and pad 
parts are latched, you can simply let them play on their own 
while you use both hands to play the lead, and then return to 
them when it’s time for a chord change. 
 
Latching with the [latch] button is similar.  If you hold down 
the  
[latch] button and play an unlatched part, it will become 
latched as long as the button is activated. 

 

Activate any combination of the (pitch) wheel and the (m1) 
and (m2) sliders for this part. 
 
You will often want each controller to affect just a single part.  
For example, you might want the (pitch) wheel to bend the 
lead, or the (m2) slider to sweep the filter of your pad.  To 
assign a controller exclusively to the current part, hold down 
the [setups] buttons and wiggle the controller. This will not 
only enable the controller for this part, but will also disable 
the controller in all other parts.
