Voicing & Style
Voicing sets how much movement is applied to the selected chord shape. Hold [CTRL] to access Style, which chooses the motion pattern in either polyphonic or monophonic mode.
Together, they let you create anything from subtle chord variation to more animated arpeggio-like movement.
All styles use the same basic voicing movement: the lowest note can be moved up by one octave, or the highest note can be moved down by one octave. What changes from style to style is how that movement is played over time. Fixed means no motion and simply plays the chosen voicing. The other styles move between the original chord and the shifted voicing in different motion patterns.
Knob Behavior
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Turn | Adjust how much motion is applied by the selected Style. |
| [CTRL] + Turn | Select a Voicing Style. |
Value Button Behavior
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Push | Set the amount of Voicing directly using the [VALUE] buttons. Use [VB8] and [VB16] to set the Style direction to either up or down. |
| [CTRL] + Push | Select a Voicing Style directly using the [VALUE] buttons. |
| [CLEAR] + Push | Reset the selected parameter to its default setting and clear randomization. |
How Random modulation applies to Voicing:
- Clockwise: +/- voicing amount
- Counterclockwise: +/- voicing amount and select random style
- Unit: Random Rate
See the Random Behavior Reference.
Setting Up a Style
There are several different Voicing Styles available on the T1. These styles define how the voicing moves over time. Each style comes in two variants:
| Variant | Description |
|---|---|
| Polyphonic | Notes play simultaneously. |
| Monophonic | Notes play one at a time, similar to a classic arpeggiator. |
The direction of a Voicing Style is set using [VB8] for upward motion and [VB16] for downward motion.
Voicing Style Reference
| Style | Motion | Polyphonic | Monophonic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed | No motion. Plays the selected voicing as-is. | [VB1] | [VB9] |
| Ramp | Moves steadily from the original voicing toward the shifted voicing. | [VB2] | [VB10] |
| Climb | Moves forward in a climbing pattern: two steps ahead, one step back. | [VB3] | [VB11] |
| Up/Down | Moves up to the shifted voicing, then back again in a mirrored pattern. | [VB4] | [VB12] |
| Climb Up/Down | Combines the climbing motion of Climb with the return motion of Up/Down. | [VB5] | [VB13] |
