Moving data within a pattern
MOVE DATA ...................................MOVE, REPEAT, RANDOM

Use this function to move phrase pattern or motion sequence data

in units of one step.

 

You cannot use this function to the slice part.

 

To move data

 

MOVE ............................................................(-7.15...+7.15)*

*The amount by which you can move steps will depend on the Length

and on the Last Step setting.

Here’s how to change the location at which the pattern begins.

1.If the ESX-1 is playing, press the STOP/CANCEL key to stop playback.

2.Hold down the SHIFT key and press step key 2 (MOVE DATA).

3.Verify that the display indicates “Move,” and press step key 2 once again.

4.The selected part key will blink. Press the part or motion sequence keys whose data you want to move at the same time, so that these keys are blinking. You can hear the sound of a part each time you press its part key.

5.Turn the dial to set the number of steps and the direction (positive or negative) in which you want to move the data. To set the value of the digit (length) before the decimal point, hold down the SHIFT key and turn the dial.

6.Press the blinking step key 2 to execute the Move Data operation. (Key 2 will go dark.)

To cancel without executing, press the STOP/CANCEL key.

To copy data repeatedly
REPEAT ................................................................0.01...7.15*

*The maximum number of repeats will depend on the Length and the Last Step.

This operation lets you copy the specified number of steps from the beginning of the pattern to the end of the pattern for the specified number of times.

1.If the ESX-1 is playing, press the STOP/CANCEL key to stop playback.

2.Hold down the SHIFT key and press step key 2 (MOVE DATA).

3.The display indicates “Move”; turn the dial to change this to “Re- peat,” and then press step key 2 once again.

4.The selected part key will blink. Press the part or motion sequence keys whose data you want to copy at the same time, so that these keys are blinking. You can hear the sound of a part each time you press its part key.

5.Turn the dial to set the number of times that the data will be copied.

6.Press the blinking step key 2 to execute the Repeat Data operation. (Key 2 will go dark.)

To cancel without executing, press the STOP/CANCEL key.

To move data randomlyRANDOM ...............................................................................

This operation lets you randomly rearrange the pattern data. When you execute this, the existing steps and note data (only in the case of keyboard parts) will be randomly rearranged to other steps.

1.If the ESX-1 is playing, press the STOP/CANCEL key to stop playback.

2.Hold down the SHIFT key and press step key 2 (MOVE DATA).

3.The display indicates “Move”; turn the dial to change this to “Ran- dom,” and then press step key 2 once again.

Move Data affects the valid steps of the selected part. The valid steps are determined by the Beat Length and Last Step of each pattern.

Data that is moved beyond the ending step of a pattern will be “wrapped around” to the first step. For example if you edit a 64-step pattern by setting “Move Data” to “+5”, the data of steps 60 through 64 will be wrapped around to steps 1 through 5.

Likewise, if you move data beyond the first step, it will be wrapped around to the last step.B

The data of each step will be moved three steps toward

 

the end of the pattern.
