filter, resonance, LFO and many other available parameters over time—and have them
play back automatically by simply playing a voice. A variety of drawing and editing tools
are available for creating unique, continuous parameter changes that would be impossi-
ble to achieve with conventional EGs.
Up to four different parameters can be controlled independently, each recorded into its
own Free EG track. Ideal for those times when you wish you had an extra couple of pairs
of hands, the Free EG lets you build up an incredibly complex, completely unique voice.
The display windows (1 - 4) indicate the parameters controlled by each Free EG track.

The Pattern Generator block features four basic controls for the Arpeggio and Step
Sequencer — two powerful functions let you trigger complex patterns in real time, at the
press of a key. For more information, see the

• TEMPO
Range: MIDI, 40 - 240 bpm (beats per minute)
This determines the speed of the Pattern Generator's Arpeggio or Step Sequencer. If
you want the clock of an external MIDI sequencer or drum machine to control the tempo
of the PLG150-AN's Pattern Generator, set the Tempo to "MIDI" so that the two devices
will play in synchronization with each other.

setting affects the speed of the Free EG.
• HOLD
Settings: On, Off
This determines how the Pattern Generator responds to the pressing and releasing of
keys. When this is set to "on" (the lamp lights), the Arpeggio or Sequencer pattern con-
tinues playing after releasing the keys. When this is set to "off," the pattern will stop when
you release the keys. For more information on using the Hol function, see

These two buttons are used to switch between the Arpeggio and the Step Sequencer.
