Playing a pattern
RPS
Any phrase that’s been assigned to one of the sixteen velocity pads
will continue playing as long as you hold down its pad.
The phrases that are registered to the sixteen velocity pads are
handled as one “RPS set.” You are free to edit the contents of an RPS
set, and can store 50 different sets. You can also switch between RPS
sets during pattern playback.
Using RPS
1. Press [RPS] so its indicator is lighted.
2. Press one of the velocity pads [1]–[16].
The phrase that is registered to the pad you pressed will
continue playing.
* [OCT +/-] will have no effect.
* RPS cannot be used simultaneously with pattern call, arpeggiator, or
chord memory.
RPS Hold
You can make a phrase continue playing even after you release your
finger from the velocity pad.
• To hold all phrases
1. Press [HOLD] so the indicator is lit.
2. Press a velocity pad to play a phrase.
You can stop that phrase by pressing the same pad once again.
• To hold individual phrases
1. Hold down [HOLD] and press a velocity pad to play a
phrase.
[HOLD] will blink, and that phrase will continue playing until
you press the same pad once again.
2. To play a phrase that you want to hold, hold down
[HOLD] and press the appropriate pad, as described
in step 1 .
The phrases will play together.
3. To play a phrase that you do not want to hold, press
only the appropriate pad.
When you release your finger from the pad, that phrase will
stop playing.
* In steps 1 and 2, you can also press [HOLD] while pressing the
velocity pad to play the phrase, as an alternative to holding down
[HOLD] and then pressing the pad.
To stop all phrases, press [HOLD] so the indicator goes out.
Selecting an RPS set
1. Hold down [RPS] and use [VALUE] or [INC/DEC] to
select a set.
Registering a phrase in an RPS set
1. Select the pattern that contains the phrase you want
to register, so it is the current pattern.
2. Mute all parts other than the single part you want to
register in RPS.
Refer to p. 26 for details on muting.
You may find it convenient to use the Solo function (p. 26).
3. Select the RPS set in which you want to register that
phrase.
4. Hold down [RPS], and press the velocity pad to
which you want to register the phrase.
That phrase will be registered to the pad you pressed.
Patterns that are registered in an RPS set allow you to specify setup
parameters that are different than in conventional pattern mode.
<Note when assigning RPS>
* It is not possible for multi-part phrases to be assigned to each of
the velocity pads. You must mute all parts other than the part
that contains the phrase you wish to assign. If you attempt to
assign a phrase in which two or more parts are un-muted, the
display will indicate “Cannot Assign Phrase!”.
* If you have assigned a phrase from a user pattern to RPS, and
modify the performance data of the pattern that contains that
phrase after it has been assigned, be aware that the phrase played
by RPS will be affected by these modifications. For example if you
delete the performance data of a pattern that contains an assigned
phrase, no sound will be heard when you use RPS to play that
phrase.
* If you assign a phrase from a part that uses MFX, the MFX
settings during RPS playback will be determined by the MFX
settings of the currently selected pattern. This means that the
RPS playback may sound different than the original phrase.
