Chapter 4 Introduction to Effects and Parameters

SL (Slicer)

This consecutively interrupts the sound to create the impression that a rhythm backing phrase is being played.

Parameter

Value

Pattern

P1–P20

Rate

0–100, BPM –BPM

Trigger Sens

0–100

Pattern

Select the slice pattern that will be used to cut the sound.

Rate

Adjust the rate at which the sound will be cut.

*When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according to the value of the Master BPM (p. 54) specified for each patch. This makes it easier 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 BPM, press PARAMETER [ ] to display the Master BPM settings screen.

Trigger Sens (Trigger Sensitivity)

Adjust the sensitivity of triggering. With low settings of this parameter, softly picked notes will not retrigger the phrase (i.e., the phrase will continue playing), but strongly picked notes will retrigger the phrase so that it will playback from the beginning. With high settings of this parameter, the phrase will be retriggered even by softly picked notes.

AR (Auto Riff)

This allows you to automatically produce a phrase simply by picking a single note. This can be used to easily play extremely rapid phrases.

*Reception of large amounts of MIDI data while Auto Riff is playing may result in disturbances in the sound.

Phrase

Loop

If “Loop” is turned “On,” the phrase will be played back continuously.

Tempo

Adjust the speed of the phrase.

*When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according to the value of the Master BPM (p. 54) specified for each patch. This makes it easier 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 BPM, press PARAMETER

[ ] to display the Master BPM settings screen.

Sens (Sensitivity)

Adjust the sensitivity of triggering. With low settings of this parameter, softly picked notes will not retrigger the phrase (i.e., the phrase will continue playing), but strongly picked notes will retrigger the phrase so that it will playback from the beginning. With high settings of this parameter, the phrase will be retriggered even by softly picked notes.

No retriggering occurs when the value is set to “0.”
