Introduction to OASYS
16. EXIT button
This button makes it easy to return to the main page of
the current mode:
• Press it once to go to the previously‐selected tab on
the main P0 page.
• Press it again to go to the first tab on the main P0
page (such as the main Program Play page). If you
had previously selected a parameter on this page,
that parameter will be selected.
• Press it a third time to select the main parameter on
the P0 page, such as the Program name in Program
mode.
Wherever you are in Program, Combi, or Sequencer
modes, pressing EXIT three times (or fewer) will take
you back to Program/Combination/Song Select, where
you can immediately use the numeric keys or
switches to select a Program, Combination, or Song.
When a dialog box is open, this button cancels the
settings made in the dialog box and closes the dialog
box, just like pressing the Cancel button. If a popup
menu or page menu is open, pressing EXIT closes the
menu.
17. SEQUENCER buttons
Most of the buttons in this section apply only to
Sequencer mode and audio CD playback (in Disk
Mode).
REC/WRITE is the exception; it has special functions in
Program, Combination, and Global modes, as
described below.
PAUSE button
In Sequencer mode, this button pauses the playback of
the song. When paused, the button's LED will light up.
Press PAUSE once again to resume playback, and the
LED will turn off.
In Disk mode, this button pauses audio CD playback.
<<REW button
In Sequencer mode, when the Song is playing or
paused, this button will rewind the song. When you
press and hold this button, its LED will light up, and
the playback will rewind. (Rewind is disabled during
recording, and while the Song is stopped.)
In Disk mode, this button rewinds the audio CD.
FF>> button
In Sequencer mode, when the Song is playing or
paused, this button will fast‐forward the song. When
you press and hold this button, the button will light,
and the playback will fast‐forward. (Fast‐forward is
disabled during recording, and while the Song is
stopped.)
In Disk mode, this button fast‐forwards the audio CD.
26
LOCATE button
In Sequencer mode, this button will advance or rewind
the song to the specified locate point. This lets you
jump immediately to any point in the current Song.
The default locate point is the first beat of measure 1.
To set the locate point to the current position, hold
down ENTER and then press LOCATE. You can also
set the Locate point directly via the on‐screen menu.
REC/WRITE button
In Sequencer mode, pressing this button will enter
record‐ready mode. Once you're in record‐ready mode
(shown by the button's lit LED), you can begin
recording by pressing the SEQUENCER START/STOP
button. For more information, see "Recording MIDI in
real‐time" on page 91.
In Program, Combination and Global modes, pressing
/
REC/WRITE will open the Save dialog box. For more
details, see "Writing to internal memory" on page 170,
and "Using the (SEQUENCER) REC/WRITE switch to
write" on page 171.
In Program and Combination modes, you can hold
down the ENTER button and press the SEQUENCER
REC/WRITE button to use the Auto Song Setup
function. This imports the current Program or Combi
into Sequence mode for quick and easy recording. For
more information, see "Auto Song Setup" on page 2 of
the Parameter Guide.
START/STOP button
This starts or stops recording and playback in
Sequencer mode.
In Disk mode, this button starts and stops playback on
the audio CD.
18. TEMPO controls
TEMPO knob
This knob adjusts the tempo for the OASYS as a whole,
including:
• Tempo‐synced LFOs
• Tempo‐synced ("BPM") delay effects
• EXi Step Sequencers
• KARMA
• Songs in Sequence mode
The LED will blink at quarter‐note intervals of the
current tempo.
NOTE: If the GLOBAL MIDI page MIDI CLOCK
parameter is set to External, or if it is set to Auto and a
clock is currently being received via MIDI, then neither
the TEMPO Knob nor the TAP TEMPO button will
have any effect.
