Playing a pattern

Mix In

The sound of a device connected to the INPUT jacks or the digital in connector can be mixed into the output.

You can also use the velocity pads to play different pitches using the input sound.

Directly outputting the sound of an external device

1.In the sampling section, press [MIX IN] so its indicator is lighted.

The sound of the external device will be mixed into the output.

2.To cancel the Mix In function, press [MIX IN] once again so its indicator goes out.

Playing various pitches using the sound of an external device

1.Press and hold [MIX IN].

The Mix In select sub window will appear.

2.Continuing to hold down [MIX IN], press [F6 (Velo Pads)] or turn [VALUE] to select “VELOCITY PADS.”

The indicator will blink, and now you can use the velocity pads to change the pitch of the input sound.

3.Play the velocity pads.

You can control the pitch and duration just as on a conventional keyboard.

When you press pad 2 (C4), the input sound will be heard at its original pitch.

You can play the input sound in a range of 14 semitones higher (pad [16]) through 25 semitones lower (pad [1] with [OCT -] pressed twice) than the original pitch.

*You cannot play chords.

4.To cancel the Mix In function, press [MIX IN] once again so its indicator goes out.

Selecting the input source device

1.Press and hold [MIX IN].

The Mix In select sub window will appear.

2.Press [F5 (Input Setting)].
