Editing motion sequence
data
You can edit the motion sequence of each part or the effect
and delay motion sequence. The data can be edited in units of
individual steps.
Selecting a motion sequence
Motion Dest. EGt(EG Time)...ti
n
(Time)
1. Select the pattern that contains the motion sequence data
you wish to edit.
2. Press the STEP EDIT key (the key will light).
3. Use the cursor keys [▲][▼] to select Motion Dest (the cor-
responding LED will light).
4. By turning the dial you can select parameters from the mo-
tion sequence which is currently recorded for that part.
If you wish to select a parameter for which no motion sequence
is recorded for the part, hold down the Shift key while you
turn the dial.
For motion sequences which have been recorded using
the EG Time, Pitch/Glide, Level, Pan, Cutoff, Resonance,
EG Int, and Drive parameters, their values will be initial-
ized to “diS” when you hold down the Shift key and se-
lect a parameter for which no motion sequence is re-
corded.
The parameters and valid number of parameters for each part
are given below.
Only one of the following parameters is valid for each part:
EGt (EG Time), PCh/GLd (Pitch/Glide), LEU (Level), PAn
(Pan).
Only one of the following parameters is valid for each synth
part: Cut (Cutoff), rES (Resonance), EGi (EG Int), drU (Drive).
Only one of the following parameters is valid for each part:
A
n
P (Amp EG), roL (Roll), EFF (Effect).
Ed1 (Edit 1) and Ed2 (Edit 2) are valid for parts for which the
effect is turned on.
ti
n
(Time) and dPt (Depth) are valid for the pattern (all parts).
Exchanging data between parts
(Swap Part)
All data of the selected part can be exchanged with a part of
same pattern.
1. If the pattern is playing, press the Stop/Cancel key to stop
playback.
2. Press a part key to select the parts that you wish to swap
(the key will light).
3. Hold down the Shift key and press step key 10 (Swap Part)
(key 10 will blink).
4. If you selected a synth part in step 2, both keys will blink
automatically. If you selected a drum part in step 2, select
the other drum part that you wish to swap (both of the two
keys being swapped will blink). At this time, you can audi-
tion the sound by pressing the respective part key. (Synth
parts will sound at C4.)
5. Press step key 10 once again to execute the Swap Part op-
eration.
To cancel the operation, press the Stop/Cancel key.
It is not possible to swap between a synth part and a
drum part.
