What’s a motion?
The function that records and plays back knob operations and MIDI message-related changes such as control change and pitch
bend messages received, step by step along with a pattern as it plays is called a “motion”.
You can use motions to make the [FREQ] knob gradually increase the brightness of the tone, make the [DECAY] knob change the
sound from staccato to legato and so on. These motions can be used when you create a pattern.
On the S-1, you can record and play back the changes you make to a maximum of eight parameters and to the pitch bend for each
pattern.
● MIDI control change and pitch bend messages can only be recorded using type D (real-time recording).
