Selecting a pattern

Pattern

Use the cursor keys to make the parameter select LEDs indicate

Pattern.

Rotate the dial to select one of the 256 patterns: A01...A64,

b01...b64, C01...C64, and d01...d64. By holding down the Shift

key as you rotate the dial, you can change the pattern number

in steps of ten.

Setting the playback tempo

Tempo

• Using the dial to change the tempo

Use the cursor keys to make the parameter select LEDs indicate

Tempo. Rotate the dial to modify the tempo.

• Using the Tap Tempo key to

change the tempo

While the pattern is playing, press the Tap key three times or

more at the desired tempo. The EA-1 will calculate the interval

at which you pressed the Tap key, and will change the tempo

accordingly. You can change the tempo in the same way even

when playback is stopped.

When you use the cursor keys to make the parameter select

LEDs indicate Tempo, and the tempo you modified will appear

in the display.

If you switch to a different pattern without writing the

pattern whose tempo you modified, the pattern tempo

will return to the previous value. If you wish to keep the

modified tempo, you must perform the Write operation

(refer to p.33 "Saving a pattern").

Playing a pattern

(Pattern Play)

Use the cursor keys to make the parameter select LEDs indicate

Pattern. Press the Play/Pause key to start pattern playback.

When the pattern finishes playing, it will return to the begin-

ning and continue playing.

While listening to a pattern, you can strike the step keys along

with the phrase, or move the knobs to modify the sound.

Step

By taking advantage of the various functions of Pattern mode

as part of your performance technique, you can enjoy even wider

Step

possibilities.

The timing at which patterns will

change

When you switch patterns during playback, the change will

occur when the currently playing pattern finishes its last step.

Until the pattern actually changes, the pattern number selected

in the display will blink.

Pattern A01

Playing from the beginning of a

pattern (Reset & Play)

If you hold down the Shift key when pressing the Play/Pause

key, the playback will be forced to playback from the begin-

ning. By using this function in conjunction with setting the

tempo by the Tap key, you can synchronize the playback with-

out using MIDI.

Pattern A01

About the tempo when the pattern

is changed

When you switch patterns during playback, the tempo of the

previous pattern will always be maintained. If you wish to use

the tempo that is stored in the newly selected pattern, press the

Stop/Cancel key to stop playback, and then start playback once

again. The pattern's own tempo will be applied from the point

at which the pattern was stopped.

will need to perform this adjustment each time.
