EFFECT FUNCTIONS (PRODUCING BEAT EFFECTS/IN-LOOP SAMPLER)
PRODUCING BEAT EFFECTS
Beat effects allow the instant setting of effect times in synch with the
BPM (beats per minute), thus allowing the production of a wide
variety of effects in synch with the current rhythm, even during live
performances.
1. Press the AUTO button to set the Beats Per Minute (BPM =
track tempo) measuring mode.
AUTO:
The
AUTO
button lights, and the BPM of the input sound
is measured automatically.
TAP:
The BPM is input manually by tapping on the
TAP
button.
The
AUTO
button indicator does not light.
¶
Whenever power is first turned ON, the function defaults to the
[
AUTO
] mode.
¶
In the event the track’s BPM cannot be detected automatically,
the display’s BPM counter will flash.
¶
The effective range in the AUTO mode is 70 to 180 BPM.
It may not be possible to measure some tracks accurately.
In this case, use the TAP mode for manual BPM input.
[Using the TAP Button for Manual BPM Input]
If the TAP button is tapped two times or more in synch
with beat (1/4 notes), the BPM will be recorded as the
average value recorded during that interval.
¶
When BPM mode is set to [
AUTO
], tapping the
TAP
button will
cause the BPM mode to change to the TAP mode, and the
interval at which the
TAP
button is pressed will be measured.
¶
When the BPM is set via the
TAP
button, the beat multiple
becomes “
1/1
” or “
4/1
” (depending on the effect selected),
and the time for 1 beat (1/4 notes) or 4 beats will be set as the
effect time.
[Using the BEAT/PITCH buttons for Manual BPM Input]
By pressing the BEAT/PITCH buttons (–, +) while holding
the TAP button depressed, the BPM can be changed.
¶
The BPM can be set from 40 to 999 in 1-step increments.
2. Set the effect selector to an effect other than [IN-LOOP
SAMPLER].
¶
See P. 10 regarding the various effects.
3. Set the effect channel selector to the channel you wish to
apply the effect to.
¶
If [
MIC
] is selected, the effect will be applied to both
microphone 1 and microphone 2.

4. Press one of the BEAT/BANK buttons to select the beat to
which you wish to synchronize the effect.
¶
Values can be selected from [
1/2
,
3/4
,
1/1
,
2/1
,
4/1
] or [

]. (The multiple differs depending on the effect. See page 10
for details.)
¶
The selected button will light.
¶
The effect time corresponding to the beat’s multiple is set
automatically.
Example: When BPM=120
1/1 = 500 ms
1/2 = 250 ms
2/1 = 1 000 ms
5. Use the BEAT/PITCH buttons (–, +) to select the beat
multiple to which you wish to synchronize the effects.
¶
When [
+
] is selected, the beat calculated from the BPM is
doubled, and when [
–
] is pressed, the beat calculated from the
BPM is halved.
¶
When the time parameter lies within the range calculated from
the BPM, the
BEAT/BANK
button corresponding to that value
lights. When the parameter falls between two beat values, both
BEAT/BANK
buttons will flash. When the values is less than 1/
2 (1), the
1/2(1)
button will flash, and when greater than 4/1
(16), the
4/1(16)
button will flash.
¶
During use of [
DELAY
], [
ECHO
], or [
ROLL
] effects, if the [
–
], [
+
]
buttons are used to shift the multiple, the “
3/4
” value will be
skipped. However, the 3/4 multiple can be selected by pressing
the
3/4
button directly.
6. Rotate the LEVEL/DEPTH dial to set the quantitative
parameter for the selected effect.
¶
See P. 12 for details regarding the effect of rotating the dial on
the parameter.
7. Set the ON/OFF button to ON to enable the selected effect.
¶
Each time the button is pressed, the effect is toggled ON/OFF.
(Whenever power is first turned ON, the function defaults to
OFF
).
¶
The
ON/OFF
button flashes when effects are ON.
IN-LOOP SAMPLER
This function detects the current track’s BPM, and 4 beat sources are
recorded in up to five memory banks, and played as loops in sync
with the current track’s BPM. Overlapped recording is also possible.
1. Set the effect selector to [IN-LOOP SAMPLER].
2. Set the effect channel selector to the channel you wish to
sample record.
3. Measure the BPM.
