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.
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. 86) is ON.
