[. . . ] Radios and televisions placed nearby may cause reception interference. Operate this unit at a suitable distance from radios and televisions. Handling To avoid breakage, do not apply excessive force to the switches or controls. Care If the exterior becomes dirty, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners such as benzene or thinner, cleaning compounds or flammable polishes. Keep this manual After reading this manual, please keep it for later reference. Keeping foreign matter out of your equipment • Never set any container with liquid in it near this equipment. If liquid gets into the equipment, it could cause a breakdown, fire, or electrical shock. [. . . ] Press the key of the drum or synth part to which you wish to assign a wave (the key will light). The number of the wave assigned to that key will appear in the display. Drum part Part common section EG Time 0. . . 127 This sets the time over which the EG will decay. The way in which the volume decays will depend on the Amp EG setting. 4. Pattern mode Roll This turns the Roll (successive strike) effect on (lit) or off (dark) for each part. The roll interval is determined by the tempo of the pattern and by the roll type (see p. 32 “Setting the roll type”). If you press and hold a part key when Roll is on, roll playback will continue as long as you continue holding the part key. Effect This turns the effect on (lit) or off (dark) for each part. Motion Seq (motion sequence) This records and plays back knob movements. Each time you press this key, it will alternate between on (Smooth lit), on (Trig Hold lit), and off (dark). (see p. 34 “Playing motion sequences”) Synth part Synth Filter section The filter processes the sound produced by the oscillator to make it less bright, etc. Cutoff frequency EG Int Cutoff Trigger on Cutoff frequency Cutoff EG Int EG Time Trigger on Time EG Int > 0 EG Time Cutoff Set the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter. Overtones higher than the cutoff frequency will be cut, making the sound more mellow. Depending on the settings of this parameter, the sound may be distorted or you may hear virtually no sound. Resonance This parameter adds character to the sound by boosting the region around the cutoff frequency. If you raise the resonance and turn the Cutoff knob (or adjust EG Int and EG Time), you will hear the typical "meow-ing" sound typical of analog synthesizers. If the resonance is raised, the sound may be distorted depending on the cutoff frequency or on the pitch that you play. EG Int (EG intensity) Specify the depth and direction of the effect that the EG (envelope generator) will have on the cutoff frequency. Edit 2 _ Attack 0. . . 127 Specifies the attack speed until the compressor begins to take effect. The attack will become slower as the knob is rotated toward the right. Phaser This effect adds modulation to the sound by mixing a cyclically phase-shifted sound with the original sound. The LFO speed will become faster as the knob is rotated toward the right. The modulation will become greater as the knob is rotated toward the right. Distortion By boosting the volume appropriately, this effect causes the sound to distort and produces a rich overtone structure. The sound will be distorted more greatly as the knob is rotated toward the right. The output level will increase as the knob is rotated toward the right. 29 4. Pattern mode ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ 4. Pattern mode Editing the effect or delay EFFECT On the EM-1, you can select and use one of eleven types of effect for each pattern. The effect can be turned on/off for each part by using the Effect key in the Part Edit section. Use the two knobs (Edit 1, Edit 2) to adjust the parameters, which will differ depending on the selected effect. Although the effect can be turned on/off independently for each part, the type and parameter values cannot be changed independently. Some time may be required for the effect to begin applying when you switch patterns. Ring Mod. (ring modulation) This effect applies modulation to the sound in order to create metallic resonances or unusual sound effects. [. . . ] (p. 48) Playing the step keys does not sound the specified sound! • After editing the sound of a part, did you perform the Write operation?(p. 34) Error messages Er. 1 Er. 2 Er. 9 Full Data could not be written. When writing a song to a song of a different number, the maximum number of recordable events was exceeded. Protect was turned "on" for the memory into which you attempted to write data. [. . . ]
