Other Play Mode Features

There are a few remaining features of play mode to describe before we move on to pattern edit.

Play Mode Knob Use

Normally in play mode, the NOTE and UPPER rows of knobs have no function.
However, it is possible to assign knobs in play mode from within a pattern so that a knob can control
some aspect of the pattern itself.
This advanced feature will be covered in the later section on Auxiliary Events.
Another possible use of the knobs in play mode is linked with the User Con f option, "Enable mixer".
With this option on, P3 will send MIDI volume and pan controller messages from the knobs above the
part keys.
The NOTE knobs will send volume, the UPPER knobs pan.
The messages are sent on the MIDI channels assigned to the same track number as the part number
below each pair of knobs – this is to keep the knobs above each track free for use in pattern control.

Fine Tempo Adjust

The P3 TEMPO knob adjusts the tempo over a range of 39 to 253 bpm.
The normal step in tempo as the knob is moved is 1 bpm over the middle part of the range, increasing
to 2 or 4 bpm at the extremes.
However, the tempo can be adjusted in steps of 0.1 bpm over the full range, using the Fine Tempo
adjust control as follows:
• hold the FUNC key
adjust the DATA knob
•
The display will confirm the exact tempo selected as the knob is adjusted.
