Motion sequence

Playing a motion sequence

A motion sequence can be played back in one of the following two ways, and you can select the playback method indepen- dently for each part.

Smooth

Knob values will be connected smoothly, and the sound will change smoothly.

Trig Hold (trigger hold)

The value of the motion sequence knob will be held at the note timing of that part.

															Playback the motion sequence
															with Smooth setting
Knob movements when the motion
sequence was recorded
															1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15 16
															On			On		On On			On On			On		On
															Playback the motion sequence
															with Trig Hold setting
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15 16
On			On		On On			On On			On		On
															1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15 16
															On			On		On On			On On			On		On

There will be no effect when the Motion Sequence LED

is dark (off).

Recording a motion sequence

You can record knob movements (motion sequence) for each part. One knob per part and the Effect, Roll, and Reverse keys are valid for a motion sequence. If you attempt to record a mo- tion for another knob of the same part, the effect of the previous knob will disappear.

For the procedure, refer to 3. Basic operation (Quick Start) p.21 “Using a motion sequence.”

To modify a previously-recorded motion sequence, refer to p.45 “Editing motion sequence data.”

Effect, Roll, and Reverse will be played as Trig Hold even

if Smooth is selected as the type.

Playing an effect motion sequence

This is a motion sequence dedicated to the effect. Unlike a part motion sequence, the knobs of both knobs Edit 1 and Edit 2 can be played simultaneously. The playback method is the same as for the Smooth setting of a part motion sequence.

There will be no effect if the Motion Seq setting of the

effect is off (dark).

Recording an effect motion

sequence

You can record the movements of both Edit 1 and Edit 2 knobs.

1.Select the pattern that you wish to edit.

2.Turn the Motion Seq key on (lit).

3.Press the Rec key to enter record-ready mode. (The Rec key will light, and the Play/Pause key will blink.)

4.Press the Play/Pause key to start the pattern. (The Rec key and Play/Pause key will light.)

5.Move the Edit 1 knob to create various changes until the pat- tern plays for one cycle (16 steps ⋅ length, or 12 steps ⋅ length).

6.When the pattern has played for one cycle after you began moving the knob, the Rec key will automatically go dark and playback will resume, allowing you to hear the motion se- quence that you just recorded.

You can record the movements of the Edit 2

The effect motion sequence will not apply unless the ef- fect of each part is on (lit).
