Chapter 2. Using the Effects
Turning Effects On and Off Rapidly
(Effect Grab)
When using the regular effects buttons, since the effects are
turned on or off each time these buttons are pressed, it means
that if you want to have an effect repeatedly turned on and
off, you then have to press the button many times. This can
be difficult, particularly when repeatedly turning the effect
on and off over a short interval.
In such cases, use the Effect Grab function .
To use the Effect Grab function, hold down [TAP TEMPO]
(EFFECT GRAB) and press the effect button.
fig.r02-01b
With [TAP TEMPO] (EFFECT GRAB) held down, the effect is
on only while the effect button is pressed, thus allowing you
to turn effects on and off rapidly in time with what you are
playing.
Selecting an Effect From MFX
Use the following procedure to select the effect from MFX
(the MFX type) that you want to use.
fig.r02-02
1. Hold down [MFX] and turn the CTRL 3/MFX knob.
The number indicating the MFX type, from 1 to 21,
appears in the display. Rotating the knob toward the
right will increase the number, and rotating it toward the
left will decrease the number.
2. When the number for the MFX type you want to select
is displayed, release [MFX].
[MFX] lights up, and the MFX is turned on.
Applying Effects to Multiple
Samples
Normally, when an effect is turned on, the effect is applied
only to the sample assigned to the current pad, with no other
samples using the effect.
However, with the procedure described below, you can
apply effects to multiple effects, including that of the current
pad.
fig.r02-04
1. Press the button for the effect to be used, and confirm
that the button has lit.
2. Press [REMAIN] (CURRENT PAD).
The current pad blinks.
3. While holding down [REMAIN] (CURRENT PAD),
press the pads for which you want to apply the effect,
in order.
The pressed pad blinks and becomes the new current
pad.
All pressed pads other than the current pad remain lit.
The effect for a pad is alternately switched on and off
each time the same pad is pressed while [REMAIN]
(CURRENT PAD) is held down.
4. When you have pressed the pads for all samples to
have the effect applied, release [REMAIN] (CURRENT
PAD).
* You cannot apply a different effect to each pads.
