Chapter 1 Introducing the MC-307

The controller section

Controllers refer collectively to the keyboard pads, the
knobs and sliders on the panel, and pedal switches
(separately sold) that can be connected to the rear panel.
By operating these, you can perform or apply effects.
Knobs
The CUTOFF (P. 26), RESONANCE (P. 27), LFO 1 (P.
27), and assignable 1 - 4 (P. 28)knobs can be operated in
real time to modify the sound.
Turntable emulation
These are sliders and buttons that allow you to perform
in real time synchronization with sound sources such as
a turntable. They make it easy for you to enjoy DJ
performance. (P. 25)
GRAB switch
This switch allows you to turn reverb, delay, and multi-
effects on/off in real time. (P. 62)
Keyboard pads
These perform the same function as a keyboard. They
can also be used for RPS (P. 38) and arpeggiator (P. 31)
performance.

Basic Operations Common to
General MC-307 Functions
You can efficiently operate the MC-307 by using the controls
appropriate for the goal you have in mind. Refer to the
following descriptions of the various operations and try to
keep them in mind.

Changing Values

Use [VALUE] dial for making major value changes and
[INC] or [DEC] button for incrementing or decrementing
values by one. To change the value, use the display field in a
black frame with characters displayed in white. This is called
"cursor." To change more than one value on the display,
move the cursor with [CURSOR] buttons to the relevant area.
(If you want to mato even larger changes in a value, hold
down [INC] or [DEC] button and rotate this dial.)
Cursor
About the upper part of the
display screen
The upper part of the display screen shows the pattern
number (P. 17) / song number, RPS set number (P. 38), patch
number (P. 21), and the currently selected part number.
These items will always be shown, regardless of what is
shown in the lower part of the display, so that you will
always have the most important information at a glance.
