The AFTER key
Note Variation information may be recorded into sequences. Each
drum note in a sequence contains two pieces of data related to Note
Variation:
1. The Note Variation Parameter: This identifies which
parameter the Note Variation Data will affect (tuning,
decay, attack or filter frequency).
2. The Note Variation Data: This is the actual tuning,
attack, decay or filter frequency information, represent-
ing the position of the slider when the note was recorded.
Normally, the slider only affects new notes—it has no effect on notes
played back from sequences. However, if the AFTER key is pressed
(and the associated light goes on), the slider also overrides the Note
Variation data of any drum notes playing back from sequences, but
only drum notes that are assigned to the same note number (drum
pad) and parameter currently selected in the ASSIGN key’s screen.
Further, if in Overdub mode while the AFTER key light is on, these
changes are recorded into the active track.
To return to normal operation, press AFTER again and the light will
go off.
The 16 LEVELS key
When the 16 Levels function is on, a single sound will play from all
16 pads but each pad will produce a different value of either velocity,
tuning, attack, decay, or filter frequency.
To set the parameters and turn 16 Levels mode on, press the 16
LEVELS key. The following screen will appear:
========== Assign '16 Levels' ==========
Note:64/A06-Sound_name
Param:NOTE VAR (TUNING) Center pad:13
