Beats Controllers Beats can be controlled using the front panel real-time controllers or
external MIDI continuous controllers. Controllers are patched to Beats
via the Preset PatchCords located in the Edit menu. The following Preset
PatchCord destinations control Beats.
Beat Velocity Group 1-4 (BtsVelG1 -> BtsVelG4)
Parts assigned to one of the four Beats groups can have their velocity scaled
by the controller input. Since most “bts” presets have velocity controlling
volume, this control can be used to mix the relative levels of the Groups.
Beats velocity works as a percent addition. An input value of 0 (or no Cord)
means change the velocity by 0%. A full scale modulation setting of 100%
in the PatchCord adds 100% to the velocity value 100% + 100% = 200%. A
PatchCord setting of -100% subtracts 100% from the velocity (making it 0).
Beat velocity scalings are reset with a preset change.
Beat Xpose Group 1-4 (BtsXpsG1 -> BtsXpsG4)
Parts assigned to one of the four Beats groups are transposed by the
controller input. Transpose works by shifting the keyboard position and
not by changing the tuning of individual notes. Therefore, on a Beats
presets (bts), where different instruments are assigned to each key,
Transpose has the effect of changing the instrument used by a particular
part. This control ADDS to the Part Transpose set in the Beats Transpose
screen (page 43). Beat transpose offsets are reset with a preset change.
