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 your external MIDI
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.
The Time Trip pad will have
an effect if PCM is selected for
the oscillator (OSC1/OSC2)
and the "Time Trip Sw (Time
Trip Switch) "(p. 87) is ON.
