Setting The Probability For The Entire Pattern (Master Probability) - Roland S-1 Owner's Manual

Setting the probability for the entire pattern (master probability)

This shows how to set the probability for the notes in the entire pattern to play (the master probability).
The master probability value is added or subtracted from the probabilities that each step plays. Because of this, you can use the
master probability to lower the chance that the step sounds even more, for steps on which you've already individually lowered the
probability.
You can control the improvisatory nature of the sound by adding or subtracting notes from the pattern that's playing.
* To do this, you must set the probability for each step.
* Master probability works on steps for which the probability is set to 99 or lower. (Steps always sound if their probability is
100.)
1. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press pad [15] (MENU).
2. Use the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to select "N. P rb", and press pad [2] (ENTER).
3. Turn the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob to edit the value.
Parameter
N. P rb
(Master Probability)
You can also set this by holding down the [STEP] button and turning the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob.
Value
-100–100 (in units of 10)
Explanation
Sets the overall probability for notes to sound in a pattern.
