*When you want to place the currently set step at the very end, turn the PATCH/VALUE dial clockwise in the settings screen for the step that follows it (it does not matter which parameter is selected), until “---” appears in the bottom row of the screen.

STEP

Sets the step number. The number within the phrase is displayed.

Pitch

Inputs the pitches of the notes. Specify by how many semitones notes are to be raised or lowered.

Length

Inputs the note lengths. Specify the length of notes on the score.

Sound

This setting determines the manner in which sounds are played.

Mute:

Mutes are specified as note lengths without the sound being played.

Stacc:

Staccato, whereby the sound is played extremely briefly.

Full:

The note is played for its full specified length.

Attack

Specifies that the note is to be played with an attack.

Less:

The note is played with no attack. Good for hammering and other such techniques.

Thumb:

The note is played with the sound as if the string is struck with the thumb.

Pluck:

The note is played with the sound as if the string is plucked with the index finger.

You can express ghost notes by setting “Mute” and specifying “Thumb” or “Pluck.”

■SDD: Short Delay

This is a delay with the maximum delay time of 400 ms. This is an effective way to make the sound fatter.

Parameter	Value
Delay Time	0 ms–700 ms, BPM –BPM
Feedback	0–100
Effect Level	0–120

Delay Time

Adjusts the delay time.

*When set to BPM, the value of each parameter is set according to the value of the Master BPM (p. 44) specified for each patch. This makes it easy to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the song (synchronizing the cycle to one-half or one-fourth of the BPM when the set cycle rate is increased).

When setting to the BPM, press PARAMETER [ ] to display the Master BPM settings screen.

Feedback

Feedback refers to returning the delayed signal back into the input of the delay. This parameter adjusts the volume that is returned to the input. Higher settings result in more delay repeats.

Effect Level

Adjusts the volume of the delay sound.
