Playing a pattern
Mix In
The sound of a device connected to the INPUT jacks or the digital in
connector can be mixed into the output.
You can also use the velocity pads to play different pitches using the
input sound.
Directly outputting the sound of
an external device
1. In the sampling section, press [MIX IN] so its
indicator is lighted.
The sound of the external device will be mixed into the output.
2. To cancel the Mix In function, press [MIX IN] once
again so its indicator goes out.
Playing various pitches using the
sound of an external device
1. Press and hold [MIX IN].
The Mix In select sub window will appear.
2. Continuing to hold down [MIX IN], press [F6 (Velo
Pads)] or turn [VALUE] to select “VELOCITY PADS.”
The indicator will blink, and now you can use the velocity pads
to change the pitch of the input sound.
3. Play the velocity pads.
You can control the pitch and duration just as on a conventional
keyboard.
When you press pad 2 (C4), the input sound will be heard at its
original pitch.
You can play the input sound in a range of 14 semitones higher
(pad [16]) through 25 semitones lower (pad [1] with [OCT -]
pressed twice) than the original pitch.
* You cannot play chords.
4. To cancel the Mix In function, press [MIX IN] once
again so its indicator goes out.
Selecting the input source device
1. Press and hold [MIX IN].
The Mix In select sub window will appear.
2. Press [F5 (Input Setting)].
The input setting screen will appear.
3. Press [CURSOR (up/down)] to move the cursor to the
item that you want to set.
4. Use [VALUE] or [INC/DEC] to make the desired
setting.
Adjusting the volume of the external
device
You can use the volume section’s [INPUT] knob to adjust the volume
of the external device.
* [INPUT] cannot adjust the volume of a device connected to the digital
in connector. You will need to adjust the volume on the connected
external device.
