Using The Free EG
The Free EG is a special 4-track recorder for
recording real-time knob position movements,
one parameter per track. Subsequently, when
you play the voice, the data of the parameter
assigned to each track will automatically change
in accordance with the way you recorded it.

Free EG Parameters
There are three categories of Free EG parameters: (1)
Track Common, which includes settings that affect all four
tracks of data for recording and play; (2) Track, or settings
which determine the current Free EG track, the parameter
assigned to each track, and which Scene the Free EG will
play; and (3) Track Job, for recording a track (or all tracks)
and performing track copy operations. Following is a brief
description of parameters available in each category.
Track Common Parameters
Trigger: Determines how the track playback is
triggered, either by pressing a key on the AN1x’s
keyboard after selecting a voice (“free”), a Note
On message from the keyboard or an external MIDI
device (“kbd”), or by a Note On message from
either the keyboard, an external device, the
Arpeggiator or Step Sequencer (“all”).
The Free EG is extremely flexible. You can record each
parameter in separate track passes, or all tracks
simultaneously in one pass. You can specify the length of
time the Free EG will record or play back, either in
measures (up to eight bars, based on Tempo setting), or
“absolute” time (up to 16.0 seconds), as well as have the
Free EG loop in one of four ways as you hold the keys.
You can copy Free EG data from another track to the
current track, within the same voice as well as from
another voice. And since Free EG track data and settings
are voice parameters, they are stored as voice data when
you perform a Voice Store operation.
For information about the Free EG recording procedure, see page 84.
