time. Look at the LEDs to see which step is a note, tie, or rest.
17. To change the timing of the pattern, repeat steps 14 and 15 to re-enter the new timing. (Press TIME MODE at any time
to return to the start of the pattern.)
18. Now that the notes and timing have been added, you can play the pattern by pressing FUNCTION to return to normal
mode, and then press START/STOP. As the pattern repeats, you can change the TEMPO and adjust the synthesizer
controls as required.
Alternative timing method
There is another way of entering the timing:
19. Press FUNCTION and then START/STOP to play the existing pattern.
20. Press the CLEAR switch and you will hear a metronome, with a downbeat at the beginning of the pattern.
21. Tap on the TAP switch, in the timing you would like. Turn down the TEMPO if this will help. To add Sustain, press and
hold down TAP.
22. Repeat steps 20 and 21 until the timing sounds good (or repeat steps 14 and 15 if you prefer this method).
Adding or deleting ACCENT and SLIDE
23. While still in PATTERN WRITE MODE, press PITCH MODE and its LED will turn on. Press WRITE/NEXT repeatedly
to play each note of the current pattern.
24. When you reach a note that you would like to add an accent or a slide to, keep holding the WRITE/ NEXT(don’t
release it). If you go past a note you want to change, press BACK first, then press and hold WRITE/NEXT.
25. Press ACCENT and/or SLIDE as required, to add it to the note. (If these are already added to this note, they will be
deleted.) Then release WRITE/NEXT.
26. The ACCENT control knob will only affect those notes that have ACCENT applied.
27. If the last note of a pattern is a slide, then:
28. In TRACK PLAY mode, this will slide to the next pattern in a track (when the pattern is added to a track).
29. In PATTERN WRITE/PLAY mode, if there is only one pattern, it will slide to the beginning of itself.
If there are two or more patterns, it will slide to next pattern.
PLAYING A PATTERN
Although you can play the patterns while the MODE switch is in the PATTERN WRITE position, use the PATTERN PLAY
position during normal pattern playing. This will prevent you from accidentally erasing the patterns with the CLEAR switch.
The patterns are recalled by setting the PATTERN GROUP switch to position I, II, III, or IV and then using the PATTERN
switches 1 to 8, and the A and B switches
1. Turn the MODE switch to the PATTERN PLAY position.
2. Turn the PATTERN GROUP switch to the group where your desired pattern was stored, either I, II, III, or IV.
3. Press the FUNCTION switch, and the NORMAL MODE LED will turn on.
4. Press the desired PATTERN switch 1 to 8, and its LED will flash.
5. Press the desired A or B switch and its LED will light.
6. Press the START/STOP switch to play the pattern.
7. Adjust the synthesizer controls, the TEMPO, and the distortion, and have fun.
8. If you press and hold PITCH MODE, and then press one of the 13 keys of the keyboard, the current pattern will be
transposed to that key when the pattern restarts.
9. While the pattern is playing, you can press another PATTERN switch 1 to 8, or A or B and it will play that as soon as
the current pattern is finished.
10. If you press and hold a PATTERN switch and then press another one at the same time, this will select both patterns
