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").

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 “l l” 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.

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-1lets 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.
