SmartMedia™ slot
Patterns and songs you create on the ESX-1 can be
saved on SmartMedia™.
WAVE files or AIFF files you create on your com-
puter or another device can be loaded via
SmartMedia™ and used.
Pattern writing on-the fly
If you unexpectedly come up with a cool pattern
or riff while playing patterns, you can write and
save the pattern without stopping your perfor-
mance.
Arpeggiator
Use the ribbon controller and slider for intuitive
and hands-on control of automatically generated
arpeggios.
Display
The large back-lit LCD keeps you informed of the
operating status and provides other information.
Saving your data on the ESX-1
The patterns and songs you edit and create on the
ESX-1 will be lost (the patterns and songs will re-
turn to their un-edited state) if you select a new
pattern or song, or turn off the power before sav-
ing your changes.
If you want to save a pattern or song that you cre-
ated or edited, or changes you made to global data,
you must perform the Write operation.
About the vacuum tubes
Do not attempt to remove, replace or change the
tubes in the ESX-1. The tubes are not a user ser-
viceable part.

quality in any situation.
