We'll even try a simple edit so you get an idea of what's possible along the way. 1 First load the Style `Guaguanco' by double-clicking it or using drag and drop from the Styles Selector. 3 Play C2 on your MIDI keyboard (or click the second C note on the Color Keyboard). The percussion Pattern and its Parts will become highlighted with a white border and play. Color Keyboard C2 48 Arranging with Latigo 4 Right-click (Mac: [Ctrl]-Click) on the Conga Part `Cng 01' in the seventh column of the highlighted row of Parts and select `Cng 03' from the drop down list. The listing at the top of the menu shows all available performances for that Track. zzzLat Tutorial Right Click 5 Let's add some Bongos. Right-click (Mac: [Ctrl]-Click) in the same Pattern row in the Bongo column and select `Bng 01'. Now we have a Bongo rhythm playing as well. zzz Lat Tutorial Bongo 6 The Timbales and Cowbells Track is quite busy. Click the `Tim 01' Part so that only it has the white border highlight and select Low from the Complexity menu in the Part Parameters below. Now the Cowbells and Timbales are much simpler. 49 The Edit Page zzz Lat Tutorial Complexity The above tutorial shows just how simple it is to change, arrange or add Parts in the Pattern Arranger. 50 The Pattern Selector The Pattern Selector The list you see at the left of Latigo on the Edit Page is the Pattern Selector. The Pattern Selector displays the MIDI note used to play a Pattern (in the left column) and its name. When clicked, a Pattern and all of its Parts become highlighted for editing. Pattern Selector Naming a Pattern To name or rename a Pattern simply double-click the name, type in the new name and hit [Enter] or [Return] on your computer keyboard. Moving Patterns Patterns in the Pattern Selector can be moved, copied or removed using the cut, copy and paste buttons displayed directly below the Pattern Selector. Simply select a Pattern, click Cut or Copy, select a destination Pattern, and choose Paste. cutcopypaste 51 The Edit Page Setting Play Modes Every pattern (or MIDI key) in a Style has a definition that tells it how to play, whether it be a normal pattern, a fill, the ending or stop. To choose the Play Mode right-click (Mac: [Ctrl]-click) a Pattern in the Pattern Selector and a drop down menu appears with the following options: Scenes Selector Options The play modes are color coded in the Pattern Selector, Part Arranger and on the Color Keyboard and are explained below. Normal (Blue): Normal Patterns play repetitively until another Pattern or the Stop and End keys are played. All of the Patterns in the factory Styles assigned between C1 and B2 on your MIDI keyboard have a Normal setting. Fill/Short Fill (Green): Fills only play for one bar in length and then return to the last Normal Pattern that was playing. When the Ending key is played Latigo plays until the end of its current bar and then stops. When Latigo is stopped Endings can be played via MIDI or by clicking the Color Keyboard. Latigo will stop playing instantly after receiving a Stop. 52 Color Shading Color Shading In the Play Mode menu you will also find an option to highlight patterns for easier identification. This can be useful for tagging important Patterns for a live performance or for labeling favorite Patterns in a studio project. In the factory presets, lighter variations are usually highlighted. Arranging in the Pattern Arranger The Pattern Arranger is the matrix on the Edit Page showing Patterns in the horizontal axis and Tracks in the vertical axis. [. . . ] The word Samba is Portuguese and was derived from `Sembe', a word common to many west African languages such as the `Bantu' language brought to Brazil during the 17 to 19th centuries by the African slaves. The term refers to praying or invoking the spirits of the ancestors or gods with a cry, something like the Blues. Calypso's roots go back to the African slaves brought to these Islands to work on the large sugar plantations. See `Calypso Fast'.
