Applying a slide effect

By setting the Gate Time Ratio to 100% or more (for

example, to 105% for a 16th note phrase) and inputting

steps, you can input legato phrases. An easy way to

apply a slide effect is to use legato input in conjunc-

tion with a patch such as P:A008 or P:A015 which

applies a slide effect for notes that are played legato.

fig.10-40TEXT

For the phrase which is applied a slide effect, you can

operate the PORTAMENTO [TIME] knob during play-

back to control the depth of the slide effect.

For a patch that applies a slide effect for notes that are

played legato, set parameters as follows (p. 57).

Slide effect

Slide refers to a performance technique used on string

instruments such as guitar or bass, whereby after the

string is plucked, the fingers are slid to another fret

without picking a second time. This produces a

smooth transition between the pitches of the two notes.

If you make a mistake during input

Hold down [SHIFT] and press [BWD/TIE] to delete

the note that was last input. At this time, the note that

was deleted will be sounded as confirmation.

The [PLAY] and [REC] indicators will light.

The CURRENT display will indicate the current

recording input area within the pattern, and the NEXT

display will indicate the playback location.

The screen display will differ according to whether the

recording part is the rhythm part or another part.

In the following illustration, the current recording

input area is measure 1, and the second beat of mea-

sure 1 is being played back.
