Roll
the roll effect is a beat repeater. When you engage the effect by pressing fX on
(the amount knob can be at the outermost left position), croSS takes an audio
sample (2 beats) from the player and stores it in an internal buffer.
then, when you turn the amount knob clockwise, the audio from the player is mut-
ed and only the sampled audio can be heard. the sampled audio is always beat-
synced to the Bpm of the currently playing track.
•
you can use the amount knob to change the beat-length of the audio, which is
repetitively outputted by the effect. the length of the repeated loop is 2 beats
while the knob position is between 0 and 20; it is 1 beat when the knob is be-
tween 20 and 40; it is 1/2 beat between 40 and 60; it is 1/4 beat when the knob
is between 60 and 80; and finally it is 1/8 beat when the knob is between 80 and
100.
