Creating a pattern | Editing the sound of a part |
There are two ways to create a pattern. You can start with a pattern that is similar to the desired result and then edit it, or you can create a pattern from scratch by specifying the sound and rhythm pattern for each part. Either way, the
If you wish to save a pattern you create, you must per- form the Write operation before you select a different pat- tern or turn off the power.

1.Use the cursor keys to make the parameter select LED indi- cate Sample.
2.Press the part key to which you wish to assign the sample (the key will light). At this time, the number of the sample assigned to that key will appear in the display, and the sample will be played.
3.Rotate the dial to select a sample. At this time if you press the part key that was selected in step 2, the selected sample num- ber will be played, and the assignment will be completed.
If you do not want to assign any sample, select “oFF.”
Only slice samples (00.ıı...99.ıı) can be selected for the slice sample part.
Stereo samples can be assigned only to sample parts 1 or 3.
If a stereo sample is assigned to sample part 1 or 3, sample part 2 or 4 will not sound. In this case, the sample number will blink if you select sample part 2 or 4.
If you use a slice sample in sample parts 1— 7B, it will be handled as an ordinary sample.
If the assigned sample has been deleted (☞p.32), the sample number will blink.
A sliced sample that has been Normalized or Truncated cannot be used in a slice part. In this case, the sample number will blink.
Select a pattern that is close to what you have in mind (or a pattern which contains no sound or rhythm). Strike the part keys to hear each sound, and use the knobs and keys to edit the sounds. At this time, the Original Value LED will light when the knob etc. that you are currently moving reaches the same value as the original sound of the pattern.
You can also edit while playing back a pattern. It is also pos- sible to use an external MIDI device to control the value of each knob (☞p.57 "About MIDI").
The parameters that are valid for each part are shown in the following diagram.

If the sound does not change when you rotate a knob or switch the setting of a key, either that knob or key is not valid for that part, or the Motion Sequence function (☞p.41 "Motion Sequence") is operating.
The Audio In parts are valid only when a signal is being input to the audio input jacks.
Although sample parts 6A and 6B, and 7A and 7B can be edited independently, they cannot be played simulta- neously. If triggers for both exist at the same step, the 6B or 7B part will sound.
Effect
This turns the effect on (lit) or off (dark) for each part.
Roll
This turns the Roll (successive strike) effect on (lit) or off (dark) for each part. The roll interval is determined by the tempo of the pattern and by the roll type (☞p.40 “Setting the roll type”). If you press and hold a part key when Roll is on, roll playback will continue as long as you continue holding the part key.
Roll playback of the Slice Sample part is not possible when pat- tern playback is stopped.
