Recording a motion sequence

Here’s how to record a motion sequence (knob or key movements) for a part or effect.

To record a motion sequence for a part, select the desired part, and then turn on the motion sequence key of the part common section to select either SMOOTH or TRIG HOLD.

To record a motion sequence for an effect, turn on the motion sequence key of the effect section.

In the following example we will record a motion sequence for the pitch of a drum part.

If you re-record a knob for which a motion sequence has already

been recorded, the previous data will be erased.

1.In Pattern mode, select the pattern that you want to edit.

2.Press a drum part key to select the part that you want to edit.

3.Press the motion sequence key to select either SMOOTH or TRIG HOLD.

4.Press the REC key to enter record-ready mode. The REC key will light and the PLAY/PAUSE key will blink.

5.Press the PLAY/PAUSE key to start the pattern. The REC key and PLAY/PAUSE key will light.

6.Move the pitch knob as desired until the pattern completes one cycle.

7.When the pattern has played for exactly one cycle after you began moving the knob, the REC key will automatically go dark and the pattern will resume playing back, allowing you to hear the motion sequence that you recorded.

After recording a motion sequence, you can edit it by pressing the STEP EDIT key and using MOTION DEST. and MOTION VALUE. (☞ p.70 “Editing motion sequence data”)

If you press the STOP/CANCEL key to stop playback and then save the pattern as described in “Saving a pattern,” the motion sequence data you recorded will be saved together with the pattern.

You can record a maximum of twenty-four motion sequences in each pattern.

TRIG HOLD is the only motion sequence available for the accent part.

Playing a motion sequence

You can play back a motion sequence in one of the two modes described below. The playback mode can be selected independently for each part.

Effect motion sequences will always play back using the SMOOTH mode of a part motion sequence. Motion sequences for an accent part will always play back using the TRIG HOLD mode.

AMP EG, ROLL, REVERSE, FX SELECT, FX SEND, MOD TYPE, MOD DEST, BPM SYNC, and FILTER TYPE motion sequences will always play back using TRIG HOLD even if SMOOTH is selected.

MOTION SEQ ........................................................................

SMOOTH: Knob movements will be played back smoothly, you will here the effect of the knob being turned even as a single note is sustained.

TRIG HOLD (trigger hold): Each new note being triggered will “hold” the motion sequence knob value as it was when the note was first triggered.

If the motion sequence LED is dark (off), this setting does nothing.
