1. Press.a.pad.to.play.its.sample.

2. Press.the.[FILTER.+.DRIVE].button.

Use these buttons to switch e ects (to switch an e ect o , get the button’s
light to go out). You can’t apply multiple e ects simultaneously.
You can use any of the following ways to change the e ect selected by
MFX.
Hold down the [MFX] button and turn the [CTRL 3] knob
Hold down the [MFX] button and press a pad [1]–[12] (MFX 1–12)

TEMPO] button will cause the button for the e ect
that was used most recently to blink, reminding
you which e ect was in use.

For details on each e ect, refer to “E ect List” (p. 42).

Applying an e ect to multiple samples

Normally, the e ect will be applied only to the pad you pressed most recently. However, by making use of [ REMAIN]
button, you can set it so an e ect is applied to multiple samples.
While holding down [REMAIN] button, press the desired pads to have the
e ect be applied to each pad that is lit.
If you hold down the
[REMAIN] button and press
the button of the e ect you
want to use, the e ect will
be applied to all samples.

Applying an e ect only while you hold down the button ( EFFECT GRAB)

If you hold down the [TAP TEMPO] (EFFECT GRAB) button and press an e ect button, the
e ect will be applied only while you hold down that e ect button. This is a way to quickly
turn an e ect on/o in time with your performance.

Pre-specifying parameters for the

e ect you’ll use next

Hold down the [REMAIN] button and turn the
[CTRL 1]–[CTRL 3] knobs to edit the parameters.
When you next press an e ect button, that e ect
will be applied with the parameter values you
pre-speci ed.
