DJ Pad function
Let us now look at one of the new Session Partner functions that allows you to use the EM-55 OR DJ
style. (See pages 23 and 40 for the remaining Session Partner/Track functions.)
The DJ PAD function allows you to start and
stop eight different phrases of a selected Music
Style by pressing buttons, rather than playing on
the keyboard.
After starting a phrase, you can change its key
by playing the corresponding chord in the left
half of the keyboard. This would allow you to
create entire songs. You can even record the
music you create using the DJ Pad function.
Oh… and one last thing: it is perfectly possible
to start several phrases at once (the DJ Pad
function is polyphonic).
(1) Press the [STYLE] button. Check whether
the [STYLE≈A] icon is displayed.
The upper SESSION PARTNER [TRACK] indi-
cator lights.
(2) Press the [STYLE PAD/DJ TRACK] button
once or twice (the DJ PAD indicator must
light).
(3) Now use the [1/9]~[8/16] buttons to start
the assigned phrases (the indicators of the
buttons you press light).
You can press several buttons simulta-
neously if you like.
Briefly pressing them starts the assigned
phrase, which will be played for as long as
you hold the button.
If you press and hold one of these buttons,
the phrase will be repeated again and again
(“looped”). Press the corresponding button
again to stop the loop of the assigned
phrase.
(4) If necessary, use the [TEMPO/DATA] dial to
change the tempo.
