have the basics down,
let's
invesdgate some live
pedorrnance options
using
footswiEh
conbol.
firis is particularly
useful if you're
plalng
along
with
Pattems
and Songs
on
tlre
pads and can't
use your hands to
punch
butbns.
As
slrown
under H@klt
W!,
therc
are two
iack
for footswitdres
(Start/StoP
and
Count/A/B/Fill).
Always
plug
these
footswitdes
in
beprc turning
on
Power.
Either normally
open or
norrnally cloeed
types
(the
two
rrost
cornrnon
footswitdr typec) can be
used; the SR-16
determines
whidr
kind is in
use
during
Pow€r-uP.
Here's
how
to
use the
footswitch6.
Set
Tempo
The SR-16
must be sbpped.
Before
playing a Song or
Pattern, tap the Count/A/B/Fill
ittck
footswitch several
times at
the desired tempo.
The SR-16
will average
the time
between taps
and
derive a tempo,
the display
will
update
the
tempo with each
tap.
TaPPing the STOP
button
actomplishes
the same rcsult
as tapping the Count/A/B/Fill
footswitch.
Start
a Song
or Pattern
When
the SR-16
is stopped,
pressing the Start/StoP
footswitch
is
equivalent
to
pressing PLAY.
when the sR-16
is
running
pressing the
start/stop
footswiEh
is
equivalent
to
pressing
sToP.
Initiate
a
Fill When
Playing
Patterns
In Perform
mode,
the
C-ount/A/B/Fi[
foobwitch duplicaes the
FILL butbn
function
when
playing Patterns.
Cancel
a
Transition
From
A to
B,
or
B
to
A'
Patterns
Wlren you
initiate a
Fill,
an
A Pattem will transition
to a
B pattern
(or
vicevelsa)
when
the Fill
has finistred
playing. However,
you can cancel this
transition
if
desired.
We
ve already
explained
how to do this
with
the
front
panel FILL butbn.
However,
you
can
also
use
the
Count/A/B/Filt
footswitch. If
you press the
footswitch before the
fill has
finished
plalng and
hold it
down
until
after
the
fill has played
(i.e,
past the downbeat
of the
next PatErn),
the
SR-16
\,yill r€tum
to the original
MainA or
B Pattem.
