Easily Controlling Complex Tonal Changes (Motion Control) - Roland JP-8080 Owner's Manual

Easily Controlling Complex Tonal Changes (Motion Control)

Normally, it is all you can do to move one or two sliders/knobs as you play, but there may be times at
which you would like to operate more sliders/knobs to produce more complex tonal changes. In such
cases you can use Motion Control. Motion Control is a function that can store movements (motions) of
two or more sliders/knobs.
While playing back the pattern that you created in the previous section, let's playback a Motion to modify
the sound.
1
Select the Performance P1: 88 (p.23).
2
Press PANEL SELECT [LOWER].
By playing the MIDI keyboard, you will hear the Lower Patch sound. Let's modify this sound by Motion
Control.
3
Follow steps 1–4 on page 38 to prepare for pattern playback, and playback the pattern
that you created in the previous section.
4
Press MOTION CONTROL [1].
The indicator will blink, and the Motion of [1] will playback.
The tone will change as though various sliders/knobs are being moved simultaneously.
5
To stop the Motion, press [1] once again.
The indicator will go dark.
6
In the same way, listen to the Motion of [2].
