Adding accents to a part

Specifying the accent locations and strength

You can apply an accent (volume emphasis) independently to the drum parts and to the synth parts.

If accent is on, notes at the accented location (step) will be empha- sized.

1.Press either the drum part ACCENT key or the synth part ACCENT key; the step keys will indicate the accented locations.

2.Each time you press a step key, the accent will be turned on/off for that location, letting you specify the accent pattern.

3.Use the level knob in the Part Common section to adjust the amount of accent. Turning the knob toward the right will produce a greater difference between the accented and un-accented sounds. If you turn the knob all the way to the left, there will be no difference between the accented and un-accented sounds.

Pressing the accent part key will not produce any sound. Also, when you press a part key to play its sound, the sound will play at the accented level.

By playing back the pattern while you make this adjustment you can hear the results.

Accent settings will not af fect a part whose ACCENT SW is turned off.

Specifying the parts that will be accented

ACCENT SW ...............................................................

On, Off

You can enable/disable the accent function separately for each part.

1.Press the PART EDIT key (it will light).

2. Use the [ ]/[ ] cursor keys until the parameter display shows “Ac- cent Sw.” The “ ” symbols at the bottom of the screen will show the accent status (enabled/disabled) of each part. Press a part key, and turn the dial to switch the accent function on (lit) or off (dark) for that part.

When you execute Pattern Clear, the accent switch will be turned on

for all parts.

Transposing a phrase (Transpose)

TRANSPOSE ...............................................................

-24...24

Use this function to transposea the pitch of synth parts 1–5.

1.While you hold down the TRANSPOSE key, the display will indi- cate the current transpose setting.

2.Hold down the TRANSPOSE key and turn the dial to transpose the phrases in semitone steps. A setting of ±1 transposes the pitch by one semitone, ±2 by a whole step, ±7 by a fifth, and ±12 by one octave.

If transposition is being used, the TRANSPOSE key will blink. When you set the value to “0” the key will go dark.

You can also hold down the TRANSPOSE key and use the step keys and select keys to specify the transpose amount.

If you hold down the TRANSPOSE key and press a step key to trans- pose, step key 4 will correspond to the normal pitch of “C."

If you transpose while soloing a part, the key will remain lit (not blink- ing). It will blink when you defeat the Solo setting.

The transpose setting is not remembered. It is reset to 0 when you turn on the power .

If a wave of the PCM Chord Set category ( ☞ p.40) is selected for the synth part, the chord or octave may change if you edit the transpose setting.
