Recording And Reproducing The Motion Of An Image - Roland CG-8 User Manual

Recording and reproducing the motion of an image

The Grab Motion function lets you record up to ten seconds of an effect parameter
motion you created using the parameter knobs, XY pad, D Beam, or foot pedal (except
for the Patch Shift function), and play back this motion. This lets you reproduce
realtime changes in the image.

1
Press the [PHOTO PATCH] pad if you want to record a Photo Patch motion. Press the
[STAMP PATCH] pad if you want to record a Stamp Patch motion.
2
Press the [REC] button.
The button will light red, and recording will begin.
3
Operate the [COLOR] knob, [SPEED] knob, [FADE] knob, [X] knob, [Y] knob, [Z]
knob, XY pad, D Beam, or foot pedal.
* You can't record motion for parameters that are related to effect modulation. This means that
if the [DEPTH] button is lit, you won't be able to record movements of the [COLOR] knob,
[SPEED] knob, [X] knob, [Y] knob, or [Z] knob.
* You can't record image motion produced by using the D Beam to apply the Strobe effect (p.
37).

Press the [REC] button to stop recording (the button will go out). Alternatively,
recording will stop automatically when ten seconds have elapsed.
5
Use the [GRAB MOTION] switch to play back the recorded motion.
[LOOP]
[OFF]
[1-SHOT]
[GRAB MOTION] switch
[REC] button
The recorded motion will play back as a loop.
The patch will play normally. If you move the switch from
[LOOP] or [1-SHOT] to [OFF], the patch will play as it did
when you turned it [OFF].
The recorded motion will play back as long as you hold the
switch toward yourself. When you release the switch, it will
automatically return to the [OFF] position, and the patch will
play normally.
