Real Time FX
To view or edit the Beat FX assignments, press Shift + either PlayBaCk key:
Beat FX slider movements are for live performance only and cannot be recorded.
However, Note FX (described in the following section) does permit recording
of slider movements, and Note FX sliders may be assigned to Beat-wide sound
parameters.
Note FX
If Pad Function is not set to 16 BeatS, Note FX mode is active, in which slider
movements affect the sound of a single sound pad, altering one of its sound
parameters. Unlike Beat FX, these movements can be recorded into the Beat.
Try it out. Select the
16 SoundS key, then press a sound pad repeatedly while
moving your nger on one of the sliders. Notice that the sound changes as you
move the slider. (If nothing happens, try another sound pad because the one you
selected may have no Note FX assignment.) Now hold Shift and press the left
latCh on key, then move your nger on the left slider as the Beat plays. Notice
that you hear a different sound change, because you’ve just selected the alternate
FX3 function for the left slider. If you move the sliders while recording a sound
pad into a Beat, the value of the slider at the moment the pad is played will be
recorded into the new note, and these parameter changes will be heard when the
Beat plays back.
