Using a Motion Sequence

What is a Motion Sequence?
For each part, you can record the changes you make to the synth parameters using the knobs, and loop
them for playback. The looped data for the knob movements is called a Motion Sequence (refer to p.29
"Recording a motion sequence").
A "motion sequence" allows you to record movements of any one of the parameters of the Synthesizer
section for an individual part.
As an example, here's how to record the CUTOFF parameter in a motion sequence.
1. In Pattern mode, select the pattern that you wish to edit.
2. Press the PART SELECT key to select the part that you
wish to edit.
3. Press the MOTION SEQ key to select either SMOOTH or
TRIG HOLD.
4. Press the Rec key to enter record-ready mode (the Rec key
will light, and the Play/Pause key will blink).
5. Press the Play/Pause key to start the pattern (the Rec key
and Play/Pause key will light).
6. Move the CUTOFF knob to create various changes while the pattern makes one cycle
(16 steps x length, or 12 steps x length).
7. When the pattern has completed one cycle after you began moving the knob, the Rec
key will automatically go dark and you will return to Play mode so that you can listen
to the motion sequence that you just recorded.
After pressing the Stop/Cancel key to stop playback, perform step numbers 2 and fol-
lowing for "Saving a pattern that you create" to save the pattern that contains the motion
sequence you just recorded.
There are two types of motion sequence (SMOOTH and TRIG HOLD). During play-
back, switch between these to hear the difference. (Refer to p.29 "Playing a motion se-
quence.")
It is not possible to modify a motion sequence after it has been recorded. If the results are
not as desired, please re-record your motion sequence.
For each part, only one knob can be recorded as a motion sequence. If you move two
or more knobs when recording a motion sequence for a part, the effect of the previ-
ously-moved knob will be lost. (Refer to p.29 "Recording a motion sequence.")
