7 Knobs

You use these knobs to control the values of multiple parameters (or knob settings)
on each track. At any given time each knob controls a single parameter only. You
use the KNOB FUNCTION panel (see item 9 below) to switch the parameter con-
trolled by the knobs.

When you are working the main screen, each knob controls its default parameter.
You can set these default separately for each track using the TRACK SET | MAIN
job (

p.231).

8 [RIBBON TRACK] Button

You use this button when you want to change the track(s) controlled by the rib-
bon. You select the track(s) by holding down the button and pressing the appro-
priate pad.

If you press the pad for a sample track, then the ribbon will work on all four
tracks associated with that pad (the tracks in Banks 1, 2, 3, and 4 for that pad). If
you press the pad for the AUDIO IN or MASTER track, then the ribbon will oper-
ate on that track only.

dicated using note images ( , , etc.).

[NOTE] button, and then hold down the [ROLL] button while turning the dial.

The center right line of the screen indicates the song’s current tempo, in BPM
(beats per minute). You can change the tempo by pressing the [BPM] button (so
that the BPM indication starts blinking) and then turning the dial.

A MEASURE Display and Button

The top right corner of the screen indicates the current song location, by measure
and beat. One way to change the location is to use the

described above. Another way is to press the [MEASURE] button (so that the mea-
sure indication starts blinking) and then turn the dial.

low.
