Playing in Patch Mode
Applying Various Effects to the
Sound
The V-Synth provides numerous ways in which you can make your
performance more expressive, such as the Time Trip pad, D Beam
controller, and assignable controllers.
Applying an Effect by Touching
Your Finger to the Pad (Time Trip
Pad)
You can apply a variety of effects by touching your fingertip to the
Time Trip pad located at the left side of the V-Synth’s panel.
1. Access the PATCH PLAY screen (p. 21).
2. Choose the function that you want to control from the Time
Trip pad, and press the TIME TRIP PAD button for that
function.
fig.02-10
[TIME TRIP]: Apply the Time Trip effect.
[ASSIGNABLE]: Apply the effect that is specified by each patch.
If [ASSIGNABLE] is on, the effect is applied via matrix control.
This means that matrix control settings must be made separately.
Set the matrix control
Source to “PAD-X” or “PAD-Y,” and
specify the parameter to be controlled in Destination . For details
on these settings, refer to “Matrix Ctrl” (p. 38).
By setting matrix control Source to “TRIP-R,” you can apply the
Time Trip effect and the matrix control effect simultaneously. In
this case, turn [TIME TRIP] on.
3. While you play the keyboard to produce sound, place your
fingertip on the Time Trip pad and move your finger in the
following way.
If [TIME TRIP] is on
The effect will be applied when you move your finger in a circle
on the Time Trip pad.

If you are using matrix control as well, the effect will be applied
when you move your finger from the circumference of the Time
Trip pad toward the center.

What is the Time Trip function?
One of the advantages of VariPhrase is that the playback
location and speed of the wave can be changed in real time. The
Time Trip function takes advantage of this ability to manually
control the playback location and speed of the wave. In patches
that use VariPhrase, switch the Time Trip Pad function to
“TIME TRIP” to use this function. While playing the keyboard,
touch the Time Trip pad and the currently sounding wave will
stop at the current playback location. Then as you move your
finger from that point in a circle, the wave playback will
advance in the direction of conventional playback (clockwise),
or the reverse (counterclockwise). Unlike “scratching” on a
turntable, this lets you control the playback without affecting
the pitch, so you can play the sound at the pitch you specify
from the keyboard.
You can use the D Beam controller to produce similar results.
