Playback

The playback method will depend on the effect program you have selected.

For a program in the “SAMPLE/PLAY” group

1.Select a program of the “SAMPLE/PLAY” group (90–99).

2.Press the [SAMPLE 1] or [SAMPLE 2] key that you want to play back. You will not hear the playback at this time.

3.When you touch the touch-pad, playback will occur according to the position you touch. The way in which the phrase plays back will depend on the program. (☞ separate sheet “Effect Program List)

4.Use the [FX BALANCE] knob to adjust the volume of the playback.

If the [FX BALANCE] knob is in the center position, the playback sound and the input sound will be output in a 1:1 proportion.

Setting the knob to the maximum position will output only the sample sound when playing; the input sound will not be heard.

For a program not in the “SAMPLE/PLAY” group

1.Select a program not in the “SAMPLE/ PLAY” group.

2.When you press the [SAMPLE 1] or [SAMPLE 2] key, recorded phrase will play back at normal speed. If you continue holding down the key, the playback will loop.

To adjust the volume, hold down the [SAMPLE 1] or [SAMPLE 2] key and turn the [FX BALANCE] knob.

By operating the touch-pad during playback, you can apply effects to the playback sound. If you hold down the [SAMPLE 1] or [SAMPLE 2] key and press the [HOLD] key, the playback will be held. Hold will be cancelled when you press the [SAMPLE 1] or [SAMPLE 2] key once again.

14.Displaying the audio waveform or a composite

pattern

You can display the waveform of the audio input signal or audio output signal. In addition, patterns built into the KAOSS PAD Entrancer can be used instead of the video input as material for modification.

Pattern Display mode

Hold down the [FUNCTION] key and press the [SAMPLE 1] key to enter Pattern Display mode; the [PROGRAM/BPM] display will blink indicate either Pattern Display mode or the pattern select number.

If you display a pattern while playing back a motion video sample, playback will stop. When you play back the sample once again, pattern display mode will be cancelled and the sample will play back.

Exiting Pattern Display mode

To return to normal operation, either touch the touch-pad, press the [FUNCTION] key, or simply do not operate the KAOSS PAD Entrancer for ten seconds.

Displaying a pattern

From Pattern Display mode, press one of the [PROGRAM MEMORY 1–8] keys to recall the pattern that is pre-selected for that key.

You can press the [SAMPLE 1] key to turn the last-selected pattern on/off.

To cancel the display

To cancel the display, press the selected [PROGRAM MEMORY 1–8] key once again. The display will also be cancelled if you switch programs during normal operation.

The display will be not cancelled if you hold down the [FUNCTION] key and turn the program knob to change programs.

Effect clip patterns (40–59) will appear when you operate the touch pad.

Switching patterns

In Pattern Display mode, you can hold down one of the [PROGRAM MEMORY 1–8] keys and turn the [PROGRAM/BPM] knob to switch the pattern that is assigned to that key. If that key is selected, you can simply turn the [PROGRAM/BPM] knob to switch patterns.

Storing the modified settings

In Pattern Display mode, press and hold the [REC/STOP] key for one second or longer to store the modified settings. The settings of MIDI Edit mode will also be stored at this time. If you turn off the power without storing, the settings will revert to their previous state.

To stop the pattern display from being turned off when you change programs

Hold down the HOLD key while you turn on the power. (The HOLD key will light for a short time.)

To cancel

Turn off the power, and then turn it on in the normal way.

Pattern types

00–39: Impose patterns

These layer a superimposed pattern (such as the waveform of the input signal, or touch pad position information) onto the image. You cannot apply an effect to the imposed pattern or sample it.

40–59: Effect clip patterns

These patterns display color patterns or image data. You can use these as effect materials.

If you have selected a program from other than the “SAMPLE/PLAY” group, you cannot display these except while recording.
