Adding accents to the pattern
(Accent)
Accents (volume emphasis) can be added individually to the
drum part and synth part. When the accent is on, notes at the
same location (step) of each part will be emphasized.
1. When you press the part key for the desired accent, the step
keys will indicate the accent pattern.
2. Each time you press a step key it will alternate on/off, al-
lowing you to specify the desired accent pattern. You can
playback the pattern to hear the results as you create the
accent part.
3. The amount of the accent is adjusted by the Level knob in
the part common section. Rotating the knob toward the right
will increase the difference between on and off. If the knob
is rotated all the way toward the left, there will be no effect.
Play back the pattern to hear the results as you make this
setting.
Pressing the Accent part key by itself will not produce
sound. Also, if a part key is struck to play the sound, it
will be sounded with Accent on (i.e., the emphasized
sound). If you wish to hear the results of Accent, you
need to play back the pattern.
Motion sequence
There are three types of motion sequence: part, effect, and de-
lay. The knobs and keys that are valid for each part, for effect,
and for delay are listed below.
Drum part total 2: one knob and one key
one from EG Time, Pitch, Level, and Pan
one from Effect, Roll, and Amp EG
Synth part total 3: two knobs and one key
one from EG Time, Glide, Level, and Pan
one from Cutoff, Resonance, EG Int, and Drive
one from Effect, Roll, and Amp EG
Accent part Level
Effect Edit1, Edit2
Valid only for the part whose Effect key is on.
Delay Time, Depth
Applies to the entire pattern. The delay cannot be ap-
plied to an individual part.
Playing a motion sequence
A motion sequence can be played back in one of the following
two ways, and you can select the playback method indepen-
dently for each part.
For effect and delay motion sequences, the motion sequence
of the part will be only Smooth. The motion sequence of the
accent part will be only Trig Hold.
Amp EG, Roll, and Effect will be played as Trig Hold
even if Smooth is selected as the type.
Smooth:
Knob values will be connected smoothly, and the sound will
change smoothly.
Trig Hold (trigger hold):
The value of the motion sequence knob will be held at the
note timing of that part.
There will be no effect when the Motion Sequence LED
is dark (off).
