Selecting a pattern

1.Press the PATTERN key (the key will light).

2. Press the [ ] cursor key until the display indicates “(patter n name ).”

3.Turn the dial to select a pattern.

You can use the dial to select from a total of 256 patterns: A.01–A.64, B.01–B.64, C.01–C.64, D.01–D.64.

You can also select patterns while the EMX-1 is playing.

To check which patterns playing

When the PATTERN key is lit, press the PATTERN key and the display will show “(pattern name ).”

To force playback to restart at the beginning of the pattern

During playback, you can press the RESET key to force the pattern to play back from the beginning.

If you want to perform in synchronization with an external audio source, you can use the TAP key to match the tempo, and then press the RESET key at the beginning of each phrase to synchronize your performance without using MIDI.

About the timing of changing patterns

If you change patterns during playback, the currently-playing pattern will finish playing first, and then the newly selected pattern will begin to play. The name of the pattern waiting to be played next will blink in the display until the change occurs.

If you change patterns during playback, you may hear noise or unwanted sounds at the transition due to the ef fect or delay settings, or in some cases the effect sound may drop out.

If the patterns before and after the change use the same ef fect but with dif ferent settings, the result will sound the same as if you had turned those knobs.

Setting the playback tempo

TEMPO ................................................................

20.0...300.0

Using the dial to set the tempo.

1.Press the PATTERN key (lit).

2. Use the []/[ ] cursor keys until the display indicates “Tempo.”

3.Turn the dial to adjust the tempo.

4.If you want to save this tempo setting, write it into memory. (☞ p.64 Saving a pattern )

The tempo of the pattern will return to its original setting if you select

another pattern without writing

the new tempo .

If the TEMPO LOCK key is of

f (dark), and you change patterns, the

tempo will change to the tempo stored with the new pattern.

To set the tempo more precisely

By holding down the shift key and turning the dial you can adjust the tempo in units below the decimal point (i.e.: 120.4).
