Selecting parts
The ER-1 has the following eleven parts.
• Four synthesizer parts produced by analog modeling
• Two audio input parts which gate the audio signal from the
AUDIO IN jacks
• Open Hi-hat, Closed Hi-hat, Crash Cymbal, and Handclap
parts that use PCM waveforms
• An Accent part that contains dynamics data for each step
When you press a part key, its sound will be heard, and simul-
taneously that part will be selected. During playback, you can
hold down the Shift key and press a part key to select that part
without sounding it.
When a part is selected, its part key will light, and the step keys
will show the rhythm pattern of that part. The controls of the
Synthesizer section will be enabled for that part.
During playback, each part key will light at the timing with
which it sounds, making it easy for you to determine which
sounds are playing. The step keys will continue to show the
rhythm pattern of that part, and will also indicate the rhythm
location.
When you sound a part by pressing its part key, it will
sound at the volume of when Accent is On.
The Part Mute function
By holding down the Part Mute key (Tap key) while you press
a part key, you can mute (temporarily silence) that part.
While you hold down the Part Mute key (Tap key), the mute
status of each part will be displayed. The part key of unmuted
parts will light, and muted part keys will be dark.
You can also mute two or more parts. To cancel part muting,
press the corresponding part key.

sound that part.
The Part Solo function
By pressing the Solo key (the key will light) and pressing a part
key, you can hear only that part.
To solo two or more parts, hold down the Solo key and select
the desired parts. While the Solo key is lit, you can hold down
the Solo key (or Mute key) and press other part keys to add
more solo parts. If you press and then release the Solo key, the
Solo function will be canceled (the key will go dark).
