Function
As long as the Part Button stays pushed in a
section, it can be edited with the control of the
Synthesizer section.
When using this button in the write menu you
can hear the tone which will be overwritten when
you save a sound. Otherwise its function is to
"undo" when you have switched a sound by
mistake: The sound can be reversed.
In the Sound Select Mode you can switch
between the different sound banks with these
buttons.
This button chooses the sound categories. If you
are on the category that you want, push once
more and the sound bank will change.
With these buttons you can put your notes into
the grid.
In Arpeggio motion Edit (start menu page 12) you
can turn the chosen notes on or off with buttons
1 to 8 (1=lowest and 8 highest). With buttons 9
to 12 you can adjust the step velocity. With
buttons 13 to 16 you can adjust the step length.
T
he buttons 9 to 12 adjust the velocity for the
following note inputs. The buttons 13 to 16 chose
the Gate time (step length) for the following note
inputs. The value is fixed and independent from
the current resolution of the step grid.
With the VALUE/STEP-wheel you can shift the
time when a step is played referring to the
“straight” beat. For example at a 8th grid and
50% the step will be played a 16th note later.
The VALUE/TEMPO-wheel chooses the tone
height.
This wheel is used to change the values of the
parameters.
You enter in the names of the sounds or the songs
with the keys. They can also be entered with the
VALUE/TEMPO-wheel.
Choosing of the different bars in drum grid, when
it is longer than a bar.
