settings, overall tuning, memory protect, etc. To enter Global
mode, press the GLOBAL key. To exit Global mode, press

your Global mode settings”).
Setting the metronome
These controls allow you to specify how the metronome will
operate. The metronome is convenient when you are using
realtime recording to create patterns.
The metronome will sound at quarter-note intervals. Except
for when you have selected the “On➝3/4” setting, the sound
of metronome is output from line out jacks L/R and from
the headphone jack, mixed with the sound of the ESX-1’s
playback and audio input.

] key until the parameter display reads
“Metronom.”
2. Turn the dial to make the desired metronome set-
ting.

one-measure count before recording ac-
tually begins. The metronome will sound
