terms&Concepts of the Phrasemaster

Phrase:
A phrase is a sequence of notes like the ones in your sequencer. What makes the difference is that the phrase will be played while a key on the keyboard is pressed or the sequencer sends a single note to the Phrasemaster. Until the note is released the phrase will be played.

Multiphrasing:
The ability to map different phrases to different keys of the master MIDI keyboard so you can change the phrases while playing. Great for performing: Trigger and transpose phrases with one hand while changing them with the other.

Transposing:
Every phrase starts with a note. This note is called the 'root note' of the phrase. If you press the same note as the 'root note' for triggering the phrase, the phrase will be played exactly as recorded. If you press other notes than the 'root note' the complete phrase will be transposed to start from this new note. So you can shift all the notes of the phrase up or down according to the triggering note. This feature is of great value for variations.

The concept of transposing also applies to the velocities of the notes of a phrase.

Metahost:
A host behaving like a plugin to the main sequencer. A metahost can host plugins while being a plugin itself. The Phrasemaster is a metahost and a complete sequencer under the hood. It behaves like a plugin to the main sequencer, resequencing its events and passing them to the hosted plugIn. The output of the plugin is sent back to the main sequencer.
