keys.

These keys can be used to enter data into a pat-
tern, and will light to show the position or timing
where each part will sound.
When the KEYBOARD key is on (lit), you can use
these keys as a keyboard to play a synth part.
When the Pattern Set function is on (blinking), you
can use these keys to select patterns, as well as as-
signing patterns to the individual keys.

1. Ribbon controller
When you touch the ribbon controller, the selected
part will begin sounding automatically. When used
with a synth part, 16th notes will be sounded, and
the gate time will change depending on where you
touch the ribbon controller. When a drum part is
selected, the note resolution will depend on where
you touch the ribbon controller.
2. Slider
Moving this slider will change the pitches played
by the arpeggiator. If a drum part is selected, the
slider will have no effect.
The GLOBAL mode “ARP CONTROL” setting lets
you exchange the functions of the ribbon control-
ler and the slider. (p.75)
