V-Synth's performance features.

Manipulating Sounds with the Time Trip Pad

You can apply a variety of effects to the sound simply by touching your fingertip to
the Time Trip Pad located at the left side of the front panel.
Let's select Patch "023 TimeTripRun," a patch that makes use of the Time Trip Pad,
and try it out.
1
Select Patch "023 TimeTripRun" (p. 8).

This patch lets you hear how the Time Trip effect can change the sound.
2
While playing the keyboard, move your finger in a circle on the Time
Trip pad.
The playback speed of the sound will speed up if you move your finger rapidly in a
clockwise direction, and will slow down if you move your finger more slowly. If you
move your finger in a counter-clockwise direction, the sound will play backward. If
you stop moving your finger, the sound will stop at that location.

What is the Time Trip
function?
One of the advantages of vari-
phrase is that the playback
location and speed of the wave
can be changed in real time.
The Time Trip function takes
advantage of this ability to
manually control the playback
location and speed of the
wave. In patches that use vari-
phrase, switch the Time Trip
Pad function to "TIME TRIP"
to use this function. While
playing the keyboard, touch
the Time Trip pad and the
currently sounding wave will
stop at the current playback
location. Then as you move
your finger from that point in a
circle, the wave playback will
advance in the direction of
conventional playback
(clockwise), or the reverse
(counterclockwise). Unlike
"scratching" on a turntable,
this lets you control the
playback without affecting the
pitch, so you can play the
sound at the pitch you specify
from the keyboard.
You can use the D Beam
controller to produce similar
results.
