Operation of the Trigger Track function is described in this section.
The “Trigger Track” function allows the track [ON] keys
and faders to be used to start and stop playback of
recorded tracks. This is ideal for performance situations in
which you want to switch phrases or patterns in real time,
or when you need to start background music on cue, for
example.
When the Trigger Track function is active pressing a track
channel [ON] key begins playback of the corresponding
track from the beginning of the song to the end of the data
recorded on that track (blank sections in the middle of the
track will be played normally.) The track is played once.
If you press the [ON] key once again during playback the
playback will be stopped. Pressing the STOP [■] key will
stop playback of all tracks.
Recorded tracks can be registered in up to four groups (A–
D), and playback of those tracks can then be started and
stopped as a group. In this case pressing the [ON] key for
any track in the group will start playback of the entire
group. Press the [ON] key a second time to stop playback
of the group.
The faders can be used to start playback instead of the
[ON] keys (the Fader Start function). Playback of a track
(or group including the track) will start from the beginning
of the song when a track fader for which the Fader Start
function is turned on is raised above the –
∞ position.
Playback will stop at the end of the recorded data. Play-
back can be stopped by returning the fader to the –
∞ posi-
tion.
