Starting BEATS mode
with the Start/Stop key allows
you to start the sequencer
rolling silently. Then you can
bring Parts in and out using the
"Busy" control.

If Mute is set to 1-bar,
the Part mutes for 1 bar then
un-mutes.

Start/Stop doesn't clear
latched parts when it stops the
sequencer. Any trigger played
after stopping will not only start
the sequencer and play that
trigger's part, but also play all
previously latched parts.

BEATS Mode

The Basic Channel is the
MIDI channel currently
displayed in the Main Screen.
46 E-MU Systems
• Start/Stop Trigger
• Clear Parts
• Mute
• Trig Hold
The BEATS sequencer plays as long as any BEATS triggers are active. BEATS
Riffs can also be Restarted using a MIDI Song Start command even if the
BEATS channel is not currently selected. The Audition LED illuminates
whenever the BEATS sequencer is running (even if no Parts are playing).
Pressing the Audition button or starting a Demo causes the Beats sequencer
to stop. Pressing the Audition button plays Parts 1-4 & 16 on "bts:" presets.
All Arp/BEATS parameters are saved with the Multisetup. (See
"Restoring Multisetups" on page 196 for more information.)
This screen turns BEATS mode on and has several other features which
allow flexible control over BEATS mode. There are several status modes that
determine when BEATS will be turned on and which Riff will be used.
BEATS and BEAT Triggers can be set to different MIDI channels. This allows
you to perform on two MIDI channels at once with a keyboard that only
transmits on a single MIDI channel.
