KNOB USAGE and SEQUENCER MODE
Knob usage varies according to the sequencer state as follows.
In REC mode: You use the knobs to record knob changes onto each track. If
you select the SOUND/[PITCH] function and then turn the
knob on the first LOOP track, for example, the sequencer
records a pitch-change event onto that track at the current
song position (as corrected by quantizing).
In PLAY mode: You use the knobs to change the sound in real time. These
changes are transient and are not recorded as sequence data.
The changes will cause the actual environment to deviate
from the song’s “true” environment.
In STANDBY modes: You can use the knobs to arrange the settings that will be ap-
plied when you begin or resume operation in REC or PLAY
mode. Again, these changes are transient, are not recorded as
sequence data, and will cause the actual environment to dif-
fer from the song’s “true” environment.
Using the Pads
You use the pads to generate pad events on each track. At any given time each pad
controls action on a single track. For sample tracks, the track-bank selection deter-
mines which bank of tracks is currently under control (

p.15)
You use pads to control four different functions: PLAY, ON/MUTE, ROLL, and
LOOP RESTART. You must switch the controlled function as necessary.
●
When you are working at the main screen (during PLAY or PLAY STANDBY only)
each pad controls the track’s default pad function. You can set the default function
using the TRACK SET | MAIN job. The controlled function is not indicated on the
screen.
When main screen is on display, each pad controls the track’s
default function. The pad function is not displayed.
