Assigning a Phrase to a

Keyboard Pad

The phrases that are assigned to an RPS set can be re-

assigned whenever you wish. You will find it conve-

nient to assign your favorite or frequently-used phras-

es in one RPS set. As an example, hereÕs how to assign

the phrase of part 2 of P:002 in an RPS set.

First we must select the RPS set in which we will

assign the phrase.

1. Select the RPS set to which you wish to

assign the phrase.

2. Select pattern P:002.

3. Use [PART MUTE] and the PART buttons to

mute all parts except for part 2.

4. Make sure that the [RPS] indicator is lit.

5. Hold down [RPS], and press the keyboard

pad to which you wish to assign the

phrase.

The phrase will be assigned to the keyboard pad that

you pressed.

Phrases can be assigned even while a pattern is play-

ing back.

P:249ÐP:714 contain patterns which are prepared

specifically for use with RPS. You might find it conve-

nient to assign phrases from these patterns to use as

fill-ins, or for other situations.

Cautions when assigning an RPS

* It is not possible to assign phrases of two or more parts to a

single keyboard pad. You must mute all but one of the parts,

the one with the desired phrase, before assigning it. If any of

the extra parts have been left unmuted when you make your

assignment, the following message will appear in the display:

* If after assigning a phrase from a user pattern as an RPS,

you then modify the playback data of the pattern which con-

tains that phrase, be aware that any change to the phrase

will also be reflected in the way it is played back by RPS. For

example, if you delete the musical data of the pattern which

contains the phrase that you assigned, there will be no

sound when you attempt to play back that phrase by RPS.

* Even if you assign the phrase of a part that has a setting

of ÒEXTÓ for its Sequencer Output Assign (p. 25) para-

meter, the musical data of that phrase will not be trans-

mitted from MIDI OUT.

* If you assign a phrase from a part that uses EFX, the RPS

playback will use the EFX settings of the pattern that is select-

ed at that time. This means that what you hear when the RPS

plays back may be somewhat different from the original phrase.

* If a rhythm part phrase is assigned, the Rhythm Mute set-

tings will be ignored during RPS playback.

* Each phrase is played back by a special RPS part 1Ð16

which corresponds to each keyboard pad, but phrases

assigned from a rhythm part will be played back using the

rhythm part of the currently-selected pattern. For this

reason, a different rhythm set than that of the registered

pattern may sound in some cases. If the pattern changes

so that a different rhythm set is selected, the sounds of the

rhythm set which will play the RPS will also change.

Checking the pattern number and part that were

registered.

If you hold down a keyboard pad to which an RPS was

registered and press [PTN/SONG], the pattern number,

name and the part registered to that pad will appear in

the display while you continue pressing the pad.
