Inserting a patternINSERT PATTERN .....................................................................

This operation lets you insert a pattern at the desired position. Subsequent patterns will move toward the end of the song.

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

2.Hold down the shift key and press step key 8 (INSERT PATTERN). (Key 8 will blink.)

3.Use the dial to select the position at which you want to insert a pat- tern. For example if you want to insert a pattern at position 3, make the display read “003.”

4.Press step key 8 once again to insert one pattern at that position (the key will go dark). If you decide to cancel the operation, press the STOP/CANCEL key.

The pattern that will be inserted will be identical to the pattern (in- cluding the note offset setting) that was previously assigned to that position. Now you can change the pattern and note number as nec- essary. All data following the inserted pattern will be moved one position toward the end of the song.

2.Hold down the shift key and press step key 9 (DELETE PATTERN). (Key 9 will blink.)

3.Use the dial to select the position whose pattern you want to delete. For example if you want to delete the pattern at position 5, make the display read “005.”

4.Press step key 9 once again to delete that pattern (the key will go dark).

If you decide to cancel the operation, press the STOP/CANCEL key. All data following the deleted pattern will be moved one position toward the beginning of the song.
