When you hit a pad while pressing the [REPEAT/STEP] key,
the pad plays repeatedly at the specified interval (roll play). For
example, you can repeat a kick drum at quarter note intervals,
or play a hihat in sixteenth note units.
To stop roll play, release the pad.
If you release the [REPEAT/STEP] key first, roll play
continues also when you release the pad. To stop roll play in
this case, press the pad once more.
You can also set a different interval for different pads. For
example, when you select a quarter note interval for pad 1 and
an eighth note interval for pad 2, the following play results.
To return to the previous screen, press the [EXIT] key.

The roll play function is also convenient during rhythm pattern
real-time input.
7. To return to the main screen, press the [EXIT]
key once more.
When playing a bass program with the pads, you can specify
the scale of Major or Minor. By switching the key and range
used by the scale, you can cover more than four octaves.
NOTE
The bass program does not allow multiple tones to be played
simultaneously. When you hit a pad, the sound of the
immediately preceding pad will cease and only the sound of
the new pad is heard.
1. Select the bass program to play (→ p. 90).
2. Press the [RHYTHM] status key repeatedly
until the key is lit in red.
While the [RHYTHM] status key is lit in red, the pads can be
used to play a bass program.
3. From the main screen, hold down the [SHIFT]
key in the pad section and press pad 9 (KIT/
PROG) so that the pad lights up.
When the pad is lit, the scale and key/range selection screen for
the bass program is shown.
4. Use the cursor left/right keys to change the
scale type.
You can select either Major or Minor for the scale. When “E”
is selected as the key, the pads function as shown below,
depending on the scale type.
