What is a Pattern?
A pattern is a unit of musical data consisting of sounds arranged in a rhythm. On the ES-
1mk
II
you can create and save 128 patterns.
Each pattern consists of eleven parts (☞p.15). In addition to the sounds of each part, you
can also record rhythms and knob movements (☞p.33 "Pattern mode").

2. Use the cursor keys [▲][▼] to make the parameter select LED indicate
SAMPLE (top).
3. Rotate the dial to select the sample number. Samples with only a number
such as “00.” are monaural sounds; samples with an “S” after the num-
ber are stereo sounds; and samples with an “
l
l
” after the number are slice
sample sounds (☞p.24, 30).
4. To hear the sample sound, press the Play/Pause key or a sample part key

To stop playback before it has finished, press the Stop/Cancel key.
If you press the Play/Pause key during playback, the sample will play from its
beginning.
In Song mode or Pattern mode, you can hear a sample by pressing the part
key to which the sample has been assigned. (☞p.15 “Pressing keys to hear
the sound of a Part”)
What is a Sample?
A “Sample” is a sound that has been recorded, or a sound that has been
recorded and then processed. A sample can be assigned to each Part
(☞p.15). The ES-1mk
II
lets you create and save up to 150 samples (100
monaural, 50 stereo), as long as the maximum sampling area of 95 sec-
onds is not exceeded. A stereo sample will occupy twice the sampling
area of a monaural sample.
