Listening to a Pattern
1. Press the Pattern mode key to enter Pattern mode (the key will light).
2. Use the cursor [▲][▼] keys to make the parameter select LEDs indicate
Pattern (top).
3. Rotate the dial to select the desired pattern (A01...A64, b01...b64).
4. Press the Play/Pause key to playback the pattern (the key will light). When
pattern playback ends, the pattern will return to the beginning, and con-
tinue playing repeatedly.
To pause during playback, press the Play/Pause key (the key will blink). To
resume playback, press the Play/Pause key once again (the key will light).
To stop playback, press the Stop/Cancel key.
You can rotate the dial to select patterns regardless of playback status.
When you change patterns during playback, the change will actually oc-
cur at the end of each pattern. (☞p.33 "The timing at which patterns will
change.")
What is a Pattern?
A pattern is a unit of musical data consisting of sounds arranged in a rhythm. On the ES-
1 you can create and save 128 patterns.
Each pattern consists of eleven parts (☞p.15). In addition to the sounds of each part, you
can also record rhythms and knob movements (☞p.33 "Pattern mode").
Listening to a Sample
1. Press the Sample Mode key to enter Sample mode (the key will light).
2. Use the cursor keys [▲][▼] to make the parameter select LED indicate
Sample (top).
3. Rotate the dial to select the sample number. Samples with only a number
such as “00.” are monaural sounds; samples with an “S” after the num-
ber are stereo sounds; and samples with an “
l
l
” after the number are slice
sample sounds (☞p.24, 30).
4. To hear the sample sound, press the Play/Pause key or a sample part key
1—7B.
To stop playback before it has finished, press the Stop/Cancel key.
If you press the Play/Pause key during playback, the sample will play from
its beginning.
In Song mode or Pattern mode, you can hear a sample by pressing the part
key to which the sample has been assigned. (☞p.15 “Pressing keys to hear
the sound of a Part”)
What is a Sample?
A “Sample” is a sound that has been recorded, or a sound that has been
recorded and then processed. A sample can be assigned to each Part
(☞p.15). The ES-1 lets you create and save up to 150 samples (100 monau-
ral, 50 stereo), as long as the maximum sampling area of 95 seconds is not
exceeded. A stereo sample will occupy twice the sampling area of a mon-
aural sample.
