Conceptual diagram of the ES-1
On the ES-1, a song consists mainly of a sequence of patterns (each with parts to which
samples have been assigned, and effect and delay settings) plus event data (☞p.51 “Re-
cording performances and knob movements in a song (Event Recording)”).

What is a Song?
On the ES-1, a song is musical data consisting of Patterns
arranged in the desired playback order. The ES-1 lets you
create and store up to sixteen songs. In each song you can
arrange up to 256 patterns, and rhythm and knob move-
ments can also be recorded in addition to the playback.
