6. The Realtime Control-
ler Knobs
One of the features that makes the RM1x a great performance
tool is its realtime controller knobs. The knobs allow the cor-
responding parameters to be controlled in real time during
pattern or song playback, so, for example, you can sweep fil-
ter cutoff frequency, bend pitch, add or modify effects, or con-
trol just about any available parameter during playback sim-
ply by turning the appropriate knob. A complement of 8 con-
troller knobs means you have instant access to multiple pa-
rameters, and you can control more than one parameter at the
same time.
The parameters listed on the panel below the knobs are the
default pre-assigned parameters, but other parameters can be
assigned as required via the SETUP submode Knob Assign
function (page 74). The knobs can be switched to control one
of two different parameter groups - "A" and "B" - via the
[KNOB] button. The "A" parameter group (the upper default
parameters listed on the panel) are selected when the [KNOB]
indicator is lit, and the "B" group (the lower parameters) is
selected when the [KNOB] indicator is out. Different param-
eters can be assigned to both the "A" and "B" groups via the
KNOB ASSIGN function mentioned above. The default "A"
and "B" group parameters are listed below.
1 BEAT STRETCH
2 CLOCK SHIFT
3 GATE TIME
4 VELOCITY
5 CUTOFF
6 RESONANCE
7 EG DECAY
8 PITCH BEND
7. Undo/Redo
Undo is a function that cancels the last-executed recording,
edit, or job operation, and restores the data to its previous
condition. Redo is a function that cancels the Undo operation,
and re-executes the operation.
These jobs are very convenient when important data has been
damaged because of recording, editing, or a job. These jobs
can be used for recording, editing, and job (except Name) op-
erations in the Pattern mode, Pattern chain mode, and the Song
mode, and for Patch operations in the Pattern mode.
To execute the Undo operation, press the [JOB] button while
holding the [SHIFT] button. To execute the Redo operation,
press the [JOB] button while holding the [SHIFT] button again.
After a recording, editing, or job operation has been performed,
it will always be possible to execute Undo. Likewise, it will
always be possible to execute Redo after Undo has been ex-
ecuted, and Undo and Redo will alternate.

8. Used Memory display
Here's how to check the amount of currently used memory, so
that you can see about how much more recording can be done.
Press the F1 button while holding the [SHIFT] button. The
"Used Memory" will appear as long as you continue holding
these buttons.
9. System Initialization
MIDI DELAY
OCTAVER
If you wish to reset the RM1x's settings to the factory condi-
HARMONIZE 1
tion, you can perform the Initialization operation.

2 When "RM1x" appears in the display, release the keys.
3 When initialization has been performed, "Factory Set"
appears briefly in the display.
CAUTION!
When initialization is performed, all internal memory will be
erased. If you wish to keep any of your data, you must save it
to floppy disk before initializing.
• This procedure does the same thing as the Undo/Redo job
in the Pattern job (page 82), Pattern chain job (page 113),
and Song job (page 124).
