Listening to Patterns
1. Press the Pattern mode key to enter Pattern mode (the key will light).
2. Use the cursor [▲][▼] keys to make the parameter select LEDs indicate
Pattern (top).
3. Rotate the dial to select the desired pattern (A01...A64, b01...b64,
C01...C64, d01...d64 ).
4. Press the Play/Pause key to playback the pattern (the key will light).
When pattern playback ends, the pattern will return to the beginning,
and continue playing repeatedly.
To pause during playback, press the Play/Pause key (the key will blink).
To resume playback, press the Play/Pause key once again (the key will
light). To stop playback, press the Stop/Cancel key.
You can rotate the dial to select patterns when playback is stopped or even
during playback.
When you change patterns during playback, the change will
actually occur at the end of each pattern. (Refer to p.22 "The
timing at which patterns will change.")
What is a Pattern?
A pattern is a unit of musical data consisting of sounds arranged in a rhythm. On
the ER-1 you can create and save 256 patterns.
Each pattern consists of eleven parts (refer to p.14). In addition to the sounds of
each part, you can also record rhythms and knob movements (refer to p.22 "Pat-
tern mode").

Changing the tempo of a song or pattern
There are two ways to change the tempo.
The tempo that you change here will return to the original tempo when you stop
playback and switch to a different pattern or song.
• Using the dial to change the tempo
1. Press the Mode key to enter Song mode or
Pattern mode.
2. Use the cursor [▲][▼] keys to set the pa-
rameter select LED to Tempo.
3. Rotate the dial to change the tempo.
• Using the Tap Tempo key to change the tempo
While a song or pattern is playing, press the Tap key three times or more at the
desired tempo. The ER-1 will detect the interval at which you pressed the Tap
key, and will set the tempo accordingly. The tempo can also be changed in this
way even if the ER-1 is not currently playing a song or pattern.
Use the cursor [▲][▼] keys to make the parameter select LEDs indicate Tempo,
and the tempo you modified will appear in the display.
