Cueing Or Pausing The Image (The Trigger Function) - Roland CG-8 User Manual

Various playback methods

Cueing or pausing the image (the Trigger function)

The Trigger function lets you easily cue or pause the image. Pausing the image will
apply a strobe effect just as when using the D Beam's strobe effect. Strobe is an effect
that thins out the frames of the image while it is paused. The image continues to flow
in the background even while it is paused, and when you resume from the paused
state, the image will begin playing from the appropriate point on the time axis.

How the Strobe effect affects the image
Example: Here's what happens if you move the [TRIGGER] switch to the [STROBE]
position the instant the image reaches "3," and then release the switch at "7."

[TRIGGER] switch
When you move the switch to this position, it will be cued to
the beginning and playback will start. When you release the
switch, it will automatically return to the [OFF] position and
the patch will play normally.
The Trigger function will be off, and the patch will play nor-
mally.
The Strobe effect will be applied. The image will pause when
you pull the switch toward yourself. When you release the
switch, it will automatically return to the [OFF] position and
the patch will play normally.
