5. Pattern mode

REVERSE .....................................................................On, Off

Switches reverse playback for the sample on (lit) or off (dark).

Modulation

These parameters apply time-variant change to the sound, using an
LFO or EG.

S P E E D ........................................................................0...127

Adjusts the speed of modulation. If BPM SYNC is on, the speed will
synchronize to the tempo. The range is 8/1~1/64.

DEPTH ...................................................................... -63...+63

Adjusts the depth of modulation.

TYPE ...................................................

,

,

,

,

Selects the type of modulation.
Settings other than EG will apply cyclic modulation. If you select
EG, the effect will be at maximum when the note begins, and will
then gradually decrease.
If the modulation type is “

,” the modulation phase will be not

reset when the note is triggered. For other types, the phase will be
reset by each trigger.

DEST .............................................. PITCH, CUTOFF, AMP, PAN

Selects the parameter to which modulation will be applied.
You cannot select “PITCH” for the audio-in part.

BPM SYNC .................................................................. On, Off

Turn this on if you want the modulation cycle to synchronize to the
tempo. This will light when synchronized.

The sounds of drum parts 6A and 6B can be edited independently,

but cannot be played simultaneously.

If the sound does not change when you turn the knobs or switch the

keys, either those knobs or keys are not valid for this part, or a Mo-

tion Sequence (

p.68 “Motion Sequence”) is running.

Filter

Here you can modify the tone of the waveform generated by the
oscillator by distorting or filtering it.

CUTOFF ...................................................................... 0...127

Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the filter. The result will depend on
the type of filter selected.

With some settings, the sound may be distorted, or there may be

almost no sound.

EG INT ..................................................................... -63...+63

Specifies the depth and direction in which the EG (envelope genera-
tor) will change the cutoff frequency. The EG will start the moment
the trigger turns on (i.e., the moment you press the step key). If the
knob is in the center position, the EG will not affect the sound.

If the gate time length of a step extends beyond the beginning of the

next step, the EG will not be retriggered when the next step is

sounded.

RESONANCE .............................................................. 0...127

Emphasizes the region around the cutoff frequency, adding a dis-
tinctive character to the sound. With the resonance raised, you can
move the cutoff knob or adjust EG INT or EG TIME to produce the
"meow" sound typical of analog synthesizers.

Depending on the cutoff frequency or the pitch you play, high set-

tings of resonance may distort the sound.
