1. AUDIO IN THRU key

 

 

10. RESET, ERASE key

Selecting this key will send the sound from the audio in jack directly to the line output jacks and headphone jacks unchanged.

This key will have no effect for a synth part whose oscillator type is set to “AUDIO IN + COMB,” since turning this key on would simply “thru” the audio input signal unaffected.

2. TEMPO LOCK key

If this key is on, the tempo will stay at its current value, even when you switch patterns.

3. AUTO BPM SCAN key

If this key is on, the tempo will be detected from the music connected to the audio in jack.

4. WRITE/RENAME key

This key allows you to save the changes you make in each mode, and to save any pattern set data you edit.

By holding down the SHIFT key and pressing this key, you can rename a pattern or song.

5. BEAT LED

This LED blinks at quarter-note intervals of the current tempo.

6. Dial

Use this dial to edit the value shown in the dis- play.

7. / (cursor keys)

Use these keys to select a parameter from the matrix menu. The currently selected parameter will be shown in the display.

8. Matrix menu

The matrix menu lists the parameters that are available in each mode. Use the cursor keys to select a parameter.

9. Mode keys

Pressing this key will immediately reset the current pattern or song back to the beginning. During playback, you can hold down the shift key and press this key to erase data from the current part.

11. REC key

Use this key to record rhythms, phrases, or knob movements. During playback or recording, you can use this key to toggle recording on and off.

12. STOP/CANCEL key

Use this key to stop playback of a song or pattern, or to cancel execution of an operation.

13. PLAY/PAUSE key

Use this key to begin, pause or resume the playback of a pattern or song.

14. TAP key

You can set the tempo by pressing this key at quarter -note intervals of the desired tempo.

15. PART MUTE, REST/TIE key

During playback, hold down this key and press a part key to mute that part. When you mute a part, this key will turn on (lit), and the muted part key will go dark. During step recording, use this key to input a rest or tie.

16. SOLO, TRANSPOSE key

During playback, hold down this key and press a part key to “solo” that part (i.e., you will hear only that part). When you solo a part, this key will turn on (lit). If you want to solo more than one part, hold down the solo key and select each part that you want to solo. Press this key once again to turn it off (dark) and defeat the solo function. Also, you can hold down this key and turn the dial or use the step keys to transpose a phrase. (☞ p.24 “Trans- pose”)
