-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSTRUMENT CONFIGURATION AMCS CONFIGURING A CASCADE INSTRUMENT the Advance Music Construction System SUBJECT Instrument Configuration: Configuring a Cascade Instrument SUMMARY This part of the documentation explains how an Instrument Configuration is performed. Similar operations in this system section have differing options and only those are listed here. The Instrument Configuration is used to set parameters for how the Instrument, Effect or Function behaves whilst being played. DESCRIPTION The Cascade Instrument is essentially a one-shot single track equivalent of the Track Matrix in the Track Editor. The track is 96 steps in length (maximum 4 bars), has no looping capability and operates at a more dense timing rate, which can either be set to a centisecond or triple the main tempo. The editing facilities will be familiar to the Track Editor with exception of it being entirely independent of the Track Editor. DECAY Enabling this option will cause the velocity of the cue triggers in the instrument track to be decreased over time, and scaled depending on the position of the last cue. Default: NO TEMPO ALIGN Switching this option will set the tick time for each cue trigger to be either a centisecond or triple the current tempo set in the Side Bar. Default: YES SHUFFLE Toggling this option will invoke the cue triggers to be aligned with the main Shuffle pattern if the Shuffle option in the Configuration section is enabled. Shuffle will not be applied if Tempo Align is set to centisecond.
