ADJUSTING THE SOUND OF THE SAMPLES
All tracks contain five TRACK PARAMETER PAGES. There parameters
affecting the sample assigned to the track are found.
1. Make sure one of the demo patterns is playing.
2. Press the [TRACK] key (a) of the track whose sample you wish to affect.
3. Press the [PLAYBACK] key (b). The playback menu will open (c).
4. The parameter labelled ptch changes the pitch of the sample. Turn DATA
ENTRY KNOB A (d) to change the parameter value. Try out the rest of the
TRACK PARAMETER PAGE parameters to experiment with the sound
shaping possibilities.
5. To revert the parameter settings to their original state, press [FUNCTION]
+ [CUE] (e).
ASSIGNING A NEW SAMPLE TO A TRACK
1. Select a track by pressing the relevant [TRACK] key. In the demo mode
tracks 1–7 contain Flex machines. Track 8 doesn’t contain a machine, instead it
functions as a master track containing master effects. These effects affect all
the other tracks.
2. Enter the
PLAYBACK SETUP MENU for the chosen track by pressing
[FUNCTION] and [PLAYBACK].
3. If the machine list shows up
(g), press the [RIGHT] arrow key (h) to access
the Flex sample slot list (f). Scroll in the list by pressing the [UP] and
[DOWN] (j) arrow keys.
4. Select a sample and press
[ENTER/YES] (i) to assign it to the machine.
