3. Basic operation (Quick Start)

Modifying (editing) the sound

1. Press a part key to select the part that you wish to edit.
2. Use the knobs and keys of the Part Edit section to edit the sound. The
Original Value LED will light to indicate the position of the knobs
and keys for the original settings of the sound.
The pattern sound that you modified here can be saved by the Write
operation ( p.20 "Saving a pattern you create").
The knobs that are effective will depend on the pattern.
If a motion sequence is controlling a knob, it may be difficult to edit
the sound as you intend. If so, turn the motion sequence off while
you are editing ( p.41 "Motion sequences").
What is the Part Edit section?
This is the section where the parameters assigned to the panel knobs and keys work together to edit the
sound of each part. ( p.35 "Editing the sound of a part.") The knobs that are valid for each part are as
follows.
• Sample parts, Slice sample part : Pitch/Speed, Filter, Pan, Level, Effect, Roll, Reverse
• Audio In part : Pitch/Speed (functions as gate time), Filter, Pan, Level
• Accent part : Level

Editing the effect and delay settings

1. Press a part key to select a part for which changes in the effect can be easily heard.
2. Use the knobs and keys of the effect section to edit the effect. The original position of
the effect knobs and keys is shown by the Original Value LED.
If you wish to save the pattern effect settings that you edit here, use the
Write procedure ( p.20 "Saving a pattern you create (Write)")
If the Effect key is off (dark), press the effect key to turn the effect on
(lit). The delay will always be on, regardless of the on/off setting of
the Effect key.
The result of turning the knobs will depend on the effect type.
If a motion sequence is operating on a knob and you are unable to
edit the sound as you wish, turn off the motion sequence while you
edit the sound ( p.41).

Striking the part keys along with a song or pattern

1. In Song mode or Pattern mode, press the Play/Pause key to begin playback.
2. As you listen to the song or pattern, strike the part keys to play along.
If a stereo sample is assigned to part 1 or 3, pressing the part 2 or 4 key will not
produce sound.
