Lesson 7 · Transitions
Fill, riser, filter sweep, cut, impact: how phases connect.
Between two phases the transition decides whether the change feels smooth or hard. The Track Manager shows every transition as a symbol on the timeline.
| Parameter | Range | What for |
|---|---|---|
| Fill | 1–2 bars | Drum fill at the phrase end — the Loop Generator builds it automatically |
| Riser | 8–16 bars | Rising tension into a drop |
| Filter sweep | 4–16 bars | Smooth change, typical of house and progressive |
| Cut | instant | Hard cut — surprising, feels modern |
| Impact | 1 hit | Deep hit on the one of the new section |
| Silence | ½–1 bar | The strongest transition — use sparingly |
