Using the [PARAMETER/FX CONTROL 1] knob and the [VALUE/FX

parameters.
The parameters to be controlled are dependent on the effect type selected.
Assigning effect parameters to the [PARAMETER/FX CONTROL 1]
knob and the [VALUE/FX CONTROL 2] knob
In order to control effect parameters, you'll need to assign the desired effect
parameters to the knobs.
For details on which parameters can be assigned, please refer to the "Effect
parameters" (☞p.47).
Here's the procedure for making these assignments.
If [FX.TYPE] is set to "FX OFF," you won't be able to select "[CTRL-1]" with the
[PARAMETER/FX CONTROL 1] knob. Select an effect type before you con-
tinue (☞p.19 "1. Using an effect").

Press the [EDIT] button to make it blink.
If the [EDIT] button is not blinking, press it again until it blinks.
2.
Use the [PARAMETER/FX CONTROL 1] knob to select the "EFFECT"
page.
3.
Press the [EDIT] button to make it light-up.
4.
Use the [PARAMETER/FX CONTROL 1] knob to select "[CTRL-1]."
5.
Use the [VALUE/FX CONTROL 2] knob to select the parameter that you
want to assign to the knob.
6.
Press the [EDIT] button to make it go dark.
Now you can use the [PARAMETER/FX CONTROL 1] knob to control
the effect parameter that you assigned.
If you want to assign an effect parameter to the [VALUE/FX CONTROL 2]
knob, choose "[CTRL-2]" in step 4.

Pattern sequencer

The pattern sequencer is a function that records and plays back your key-
board playing in Keyboard mode or in Sample mode. In order to use this
function, you must first use Sample mode to assign samples to the keyboard.

1. Recording a pattern

On the microSAMPLER, recording is done in realtime as "overdubbing";
i.e., each realtime performance is added to any material that had previously
been recorded in that pattern. Until you stop recording, the number of mea-
sures you specified will continue repeating, and recording will occur on
each pass. Now let's try recording a pattern.
1.
Specify the tempo, either by using the [TAP TEMPO] button or by set-
ting the tempo parameter (☞p.22 "BPM").
2.
Use the [PATTERN] dial to select the pattern (1–16) that you want to
record.
3.
Press the [REC] button; you'll be in record-standby mode.
The [PLAY/STOP] button and the [REC] button will blink.
4.
The [EDIT] button will light-up; use the [PARAMETER/FX CONTROL
1] knob and the [VALUE/FX CONTROL 2] knob to make the desired
pattern sequencer settings.
The pattern sequencer settings (☞p.33 "3. Recording a pattern") consist
of settings that specify the pattern length, the keyboard mode sample
number, and quantization. Use the [PARAMETER/FX CONTROL 1]
knob to select a parameter, and use the [VALUE/FX CONTROL 2] knob
to specify the value of that parameter.
5.
Press the [PLAY/STOP] button or the [REC] button to begin recording.
The display will show the measure number to indicate progress during
pattern playback or recording.
Playback may be interrupted if you return to the beginning of the pat-
tern or switch to a different pattern during pattern recording. You should
stop recording before you switch patterns or return to the beginning of
the pattern.
If desired, you can enable the metronome during recording (☞p.38
"Function and parameter list").
