Chapter 3 Giving Variation to Pattern Playback

Playing Back with Keyboard

Pads

Using the Keyboard Pads to Play Sounds

1. Make sure that all the [ARP], [PTN CALL], [RPS] and

[TR-REC] button indicators are dark.

If any button is lit, press the button to light it up.

2. Press [PART SELECT] button.

3. Press the PART button [R], [1] to [7] for the part that you

wish to play.

* The part selected by the PART SELECT button and PART

buttons is referred to as the Current Part.

4. Play the keyboard pads, and you will hear the sound of

that part.

Pressing the [HOLD] button to turn on the indicator

enables the sound to be played back even after the

Keyboard pad is released. Pressing the [HOLD] button

again turns the indicator and the function off.

When the [PART SELECT] button indicator is lit, the part

indicators [R], [1] to [7] will light at the timing at which

keyboard pads are played or notes of the pattern are

played. This is convenient when you wish to know which

parts are currently sounding.

* When connecting an external MIDI keyboard, refer to

"Using an external MIDI keyboard in place of the

keyboard pads (REMOTE KEYBOARD) "(p. 123).

Shifting the Keyboard Range in

One-Octave Steps (Octave Shift)

Octave Shift is a function that shifts the pitch of the keyboard

pads in one-octave units. This lets you shift the range of the

keyboard pads to the most convenient range for playing.

Normally when you press keyboard 2, the pitch of the C4

note (middle C) will sound. (Both OCT buttons dark.)

Procedure

1. Use [OCT - /+] button to shift the pitch range.

The keyboard will be shifted in the - / + direction, and

the button indicator will light.

Range: -4 – +4

* When operating the [OCT] button, pressing and holding it

down for a moment displays the amount of current octave

shift.

* Each time you press [OCT +] button, the range will be shifted

upward by one octave. Each time you press [OCT -] button.

* Pressing the [OCT -] button and [OCT +] buttons at the same

time resets octave shift to “0.”
