Specifying the Playback Type
[F2 (TYPE)]
Parameter Value Description
Play Type
This specifies how the pattern will play back.
LOOP
After the pattern is played back all
the way to the end, playback then
repeats, starting at the beginning of
the pattern. Playback continues until
the [STOP] button is pressed.
Loop is useful for practicing and live
performance.
ONESHOT
Playback stops once the end of the
pattern is reached.
This is a convenient feature to use
when assigning patterns to the pads
(Pad Pattern; p. 52). Each time you hit
the pad to which the pattern is
assigned, it will automatically start
from the beginning of the pattern.
Play Type
TAP
When set to Pad Pattern (p. 52), the
sounds are played back in sequence
each time the pad is pressed. (You
can use the [PLAY] button instead of
a pad.)
For example if you specify “TAP” for a
pattern which contains a melody line
and assign this pattern to a pad, you
can play the notes of the melody in
order each time you strike the pad.
You can set the “Tap Reset Time” so
that the pattern will automatically
return to the beginning if that time
interval elapses without that pad
being hit again. You can play a bass
line with your kick drum, too.
When using Realtime Recording (p. 83)
to record patterns used for TAP
playback, make the Quantize settings
(p. 84) before you begin recording.
V-LINK
This is a “TAP” setting dedicated to
the V-LINK function (p. 123).
You will switch to the next image
each time you strike the pad or press
the [PLAY] button.
Tap Reset
Time
OFF,
0.2–4.0
(sec)
This function automatically returns
to the beginning of the pattern if that
pattern has not been played for a
certain length of time during Tap
Play.
When the time specified here has
elapsed after the pattern was played
most recently, the pattern will return
to its beginning the next time you
play it.
If it is set to “OFF,” this function will
be disabled.
Quick
Play
OFF, ON
Turns on/off the function that will
start playback at the first actual note
in cases where there is an empty area
at the beginning of the playback
data.
If this function is on, playback will
begin immediately even if blank
space occurred during recording.
This is convenient when you’ve
selected “LOOP” or “ONESHOT” as
the “Play Type.”
