Listening to a Pattern

1. Press the Pattern mode key to enter Pattern mode (the key will light).

2. Use the cursor [▲][▼] keys to make the parameter select LEDs indicate

Pattern (top).

3. Rotate the dial to select the desired pattern (A01...A64, b01...b64).

4. Press the Play/Pause key to playback the pattern (the key will light). When

pattern playback ends, the pattern will return to the beginning, and con-

tinue playing repeatedly.

To pause during playback, press the Play/Pause key (the key will blink). To

resume playback, press the Play/Pause key once again (the key will light).

To stop playback, press the Stop/Cancel key.

You can rotate the dial to select patterns regardless of playback status.

When you change patterns during playback, the change will actually oc-

cur at the end of each pattern. (☞p.33 "The timing at which patterns will

change.")

What is a Pattern?

A pattern is a unit of musical data consisting of sounds arranged in a rhythm. On the ES-

1 you can create and save 128 patterns.

Each pattern consists of eleven parts (☞p.15). In addition to the sounds of each part, you

can also record rhythms and knob movements (☞p.33 "Pattern mode").

Listening to a Sample

1. Press the Sample Mode key to enter Sample mode (the key will light).

2. Use the cursor keys [▲][▼] to make the parameter select LED indicate

Sample (top).

3. Rotate the dial to select the sample number. Samples with only a number

such as “00.” are monaural sounds; samples with an “S” after the num-

ber are stereo sounds; and samples with an “

” after the number are slice

sample sounds (☞p.24, 30).

4. To hear the sample sound, press the Play/Pause key or a sample part key

1—7B.

To stop playback before it has finished, press the Stop/Cancel key.

If you press the Play/Pause key during playback, the sample will play from

its beginning.

In Song mode or Pattern mode, you can hear a sample by pressing the part

key to which the sample has been assigned. (☞p.15 “Pressing keys to hear

the sound of a Part”)

What is a Sample?

A “Sample” is a sound that has been recorded, or a sound that has been

recorded and then processed. A sample can be assigned to each Part

(☞p.15). The ES-1 lets you create and save up to 150 samples (100 monau-

ral, 50 stereo), as long as the maximum sampling area of 95 seconds is not

exceeded. A stereo sample will occupy twice the sampling area of a mon-

aural sample.
