The effect may be difficult to notice if the level of one sig-
nal is too low, or if the decay time is too short.
When the ring modulation effect is on, the level and pan
settings of PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER 1 or of AUDIO
IN 1 and 2 parts will take priority.
When ring modulation is on, no sound will be output un-
less both parts are played simultaneously.
Depending on the settings of both parts, very loud sounds
may be output. Please adjust the level of each part appro-
priately.
The tone and volume of Ring Modulation may vary de-
pending on the timing at which Percussion Synthesizer 1
and 2 are sounded.
Length, Scale/Beat settings
You can set the length (the length of the entire pattern) and the
basic beat (time signature).The Length and Scale/Beat you
specify here will affect the correspondence between step keys
and note values, and the maximum number of steps as shown
in the following diagram.
While you hold down the SHIFT key, the step keys will light to
indicate the length and beat of the current pattern.
To change the Length, hold down the SHIFT key and press a
Step Key 1...4.
To change the Beat/Scale, hold down the SHIFT key and press
a Step Key 5...7.
It is not possible to view or change the Length or Beat/
Scale during playback or recording, or during Pattern Set
Play.
· If you select triplets (3 x 12) for Beat/Scale, step keys 13...16
will have no function.
Swing settings
By adjusting the Swing settings you can offset the note timing
of the steps. For example, you can change a straight 16-beat by
adding a slight "bounce" or shuffle. The Swing value can be
adjusted from 50 to 75 (%), and will affect the note timing of
even-numbered steps. A setting of 50 will produce a perfect 16-
beat, and a setting of 66 will produce a shuffle.
1. If a pattern is playing back, press the Stop/Cancel key to stop
playback.
2. Rotate the dial to select the pattern for which you wish to
make Swing settings.
3. Hold down the SHIFT key, and press step key 8 (SWING).
Key 8 will light.
4. A value will blink in the display. Rotate the dial to set the
Swing value.
5. Once again press step key 8 to execute the Swing setting (key
8 will go dark).
If you decide to cancel without making the setting, press the
Stop/Cancel key.
If the Length and Beat/Scale settings are set to triplets (3
x 12), the Swing setting has no effect.
It is not possible to view or adjust the Swing parameter
during playback or recording, or during Pattern Set Play.
