Using the D Beam to apply an effect
As with the XY pad, you can also assign a specific effect parameter to the D Beam, and
use the D Beam to control the value of that parameter in real time (the Assignable
function).
1
If you want to apply an effect to a Photo Patch, press the [PHOTO PATCH] pad. If
you want to apply an effect to a Stamp Patch, press the [STAMP PATCH] pad.
2
Press the [ASSIGNABLE] button.
The button will light.
* If the [STROBE] button is lit (i.e., the Strobe function is on), pressing the [ASSIGNABLE]
button will turn off the [STROBE] button's illumination and the Strobe function will turn
off. The Strobe function and the Assignable function cannot both be on simultaneously.
3
Place your hand over the D Beam, and slowly move it up and down to apply the
effect.
The left [D-BEAM] indicator will light when the left D Beam sensor is responding, the
right indicator when the right sensor is responding, and both indicators when both
sensors are responding.
4
Press the [ASSIGNABLE] button; the button will go out, and the D Beam will turn off.

For each patch, the choice
of parameter that will be
controlled by the D Beam
can be saved as part of the
patch settings. This lets
you create patches that
contain the most
appropriate controller
settings. For details, refer
to "Creating patches" (p.
61).
For some patches or
effects, it may not be
possible to apply an effect.
