Beats Mode

   
The Basic Channel is the
MIDI channel currently displayed
in the Main Screen.
The Beats sequencer plays as long as any Beats triggers are active. Beats riffs
can also be Restarted using a MIDI Song Start command even if the Beats
channel is not currently selected. The Audition LED illuminates whenever
the Beats sequencer is running (even if no Parts are playing).
Pressing the Audition button or starting a Demo causes the Beats sequencer
to stop. Pressing the Audition button plays the riff assigned to the preset.
BTS and KIT riffs have multiple parts. Other riffs usually have one part.
All Arp/Beats parameters are saved with the Multisetup.
This screen turns Beats mode on and has several other features which allow
flexible control over Beats mode. There are several status modes that
determine when Beats will be turned on and which Riff will be used.
Beats and BEAT Triggers can be set to different MIDI channels. This allows
you to perform on two MIDI channels at once with a keyboard that only
transmits on a single MIDI channel.
