FX Steps

7.1 Step FX Descriptions

Step FX are a collection of 37 effect types that can be applied into one of

two step locations using the dedicated Step FX buttons. Creative step

patterns can be generated by applying and also combining. FX do not

always need a note and instrument in the same step event. For example,

lter cutoff can adjust the cutoff value, applied to previous triggered note.

The Step library also provides some brief information on each effect.

▌ ACCESSING THE EFFECT DESCRIPTIONS

1. Press [Pattern] to select the pattern mode page.

2. Select a blank or existing step event.

3. Hold [FX1] or [FX2] + Press Screen Button 7 or 8. This toggles the

description window open or closed.

4. Scroll to select effect while holding the FX button + Turn (Jog).The

description provided will represent the FX highlighted in the list.

5. If in REC mode the FX will be selected for the step from within this

menu list.

When adjusting the value with the jog control for an FX slot with an instrument

loaded to the step, the audio applied through the effect will be automatically

previewed.

7.2 Step FX Reference

The effects are contained into a library of 37 FX types which can be

selected into the step. The details for each effect varies depending on its

function. Also the interaction with other steps or the note or instrument may

be relevant for some effects. The descriptions are built into the FX menu,

but these are limited in the descriptions. A deeper understanding of the FX

is benecial and brings more clarity to what at rst glance can be confusing.

One effect can be loaded into a step FX slot. Each step has 2 FX slots so a

total of two FX are possible. While this may seem limiting it is worth

remembering that some traditional effects also exist in the audio signal chain.

For example delay. The FX should be considered more like mini applications

that not only affect the audio but also affect the behaviour of the step and

sometimes the pattern itself.

This section and following parts will hopefully demystify their use, especially

within pragmatic use case examples.
