Various playback methods
The D Beam, located in the upper left part of the front panel, is a sensor that detects the
position of your hand placed above it. You can use this to apply various effects to the image.
fig.front10.e.eps
The D Beam can be used either as a Strobe effect, which momentarily halts the
movement of the image (Strobe), or as a realtime controller for the effect parameter
you’ve assigned (Assignable), just as for the XY pad.
The D Beam’s range of detection
The illustration at right shows the range in which the
D Beam can detect the position of your hand. No effect will
be produced if you move your hand outside this range. The
[D-BEAM] indicator will light when the D Beam is
responding. If you move outside the D Beam’s range of
detection, the [D-BEAM] indicator will not light.

Here’s how to use the D Beam to momentarily pause the movement of the image
(Strobe effect).
Strobe is an effect that thins out the frames of the image while it is paused. The image
continues to flow in the background even while it is paused, and when you resume
from the paused state, the image will begin playing from the appropriate point on the
time axis.
* The strobe effect applies to both the Photo Patch and the Stamp Patch.
1
Press the [STROBE] button.
The button will light.
* If you press the [STROBE] button when the [ASSIGNABLE] button is lit (i.e., the Assignable
function is on), the [ASSIGNABLE] button will go out and the Assignable function will turn
off. The Strobe function and Assignable function cannot both be on at the same time.
2
Place your hand over the D Beam and the image will pause; playback will resume
when you remove your hand.
The [D-BEAM] indicator will light when the D Beam is responding.
3
Press the [STROBE] button; it will go out, and the D Beam will turn off.

You can’t use both the
Strobe function and the
Assignable function at the
same time.
The D-Beam’s range of
detection will become
much smaller under
conditions of intense light.
Please be aware of this
when using the D Beam
outdoors or in very bright
locations.
For details on how to
adjust the sensitivity of the
D Beam, refer to
“Adjusting the sensitivity
of the controllers”
For details on how
playback will occur when
you apply the Strobe
effect, refer to
