Roland JP-8080 - Playing Back a Motion

Playing Back a Motion
Motions allow you to apply complex tonal changes to
arpeggio or pattern playback, or to your normal MIDI key-
board playing.
Motions will apply to the Part selected by Panel Select.
Press MOTION CONTROL [1]/[2], and the indicator will
blink, and the motion will playback.
When LOOP LENGTH (p.100) is "1–8 (measures)" :
The specified measures will be played back repeatedly.
When LOOP LENGTH (p.100) is "99 (PLAY ONCE)" :
When playback reaches the measures 99, the indicator will
change to light, and playback will stop. If you wish to play-
back once again from the beginning, press [1]/[2] to turn
the indicator off, and then press [1]/[2] once again.
Alternatively, if Motion Restart (p.99) has been turned on,
pressing a key will cause playback to start again from the
beginning.
To turn the motion off, press the button whose indicator is
blinking (or lit) to make the indicator go dark.
If a motion is turned off during playback, the sound will not
return to the settings of the original patch, and will continue
to play with the settings that were in effect at the moment
that the motion was turned off. If you wish to restore the
original sound of the patch, re-select the patch.
* Motion data will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT
connector.
* If motion control is used at the same time as velocity
(p.81) or controller assign (p.84) or vocal morph control
(p.104), parameters for which control overlaps will
change according to the sum of the overlapping control
values.
Depending on the timing at which MOTION CONTROL
[1]/[2] are pressed, the following techniques are possible.
■ Playing back a Motion to modify the
tone while you continue playing
If you wish to playback a Motion to modify the tone while
you continue to play, press [1]/[2] at the desired moment
while you continue playing, and the Motion will playback.
The tone will begin changing at the moment that the Motion
is played back.
■ Playing back a Motion to modify the
tone at the beginning of your playing
If you wish to playback a Motion to modify the tone from
the beginning of your playing, first press [1]/[2] to start the
Motion playing back, and then press a key to play the key-
board or playback a pattern. You may also make settings so
that the Motion begins to playback at the moment that you
press a key (“Playing Back a Motion From the Beginning
Each Time a Key is Pressed (Motion Restart),” p.99).

Chapter 7. Easily Controlling Complex Tonal
Changes (Motion Control)
The JP-8080 is able to record slider/knob movements, and play them back. By playing back the recorded slid-
er/knob movements (Motions) in time with your music, you can add a variety of tonal changes to your playing.
This function is called “ Motion Control.”
