[. . . ] Retrigger pattern Playback: As pattern plays, hold down Shift and press PLAY repeatedly, to “force” pattern playback to first beat of the measure. Tweak the pattern: Strike the part keys work with the knobs and switches as pattern plays - create an edited set of part sounds using the existing pattern try striking any part key then select Tempo Delay with the Typekey (tweak effect with the Depth and Time knobs). Select one of the drum synth parts (1-4) and try changing the waveform with the Wave key – note that Pitch is the one parameter in the OSCILLATOR area that works on PCM as well as synth parts. Tweak the pattern data itself: As pattern plays, press any part key press to add/remove steps from the 16 step keys (lit/unlit) press the Accent key and set new accents on the 16 step keys (use Level knob to set overall accent level). [. . . ] SOLO and MUTE parts: Press and hold down SOLO and press a part key (it will light) (or group of part keys). Press SOLO again to defeat solo press and hold down MUTE (TAP), then press a part key (or group of part keys) to mute/unmute parts (lit/unlit) press STOP press WRITE 2x to write edited pattern to memory. 4. 6. Motion Sequencing: Record Motion sequences in the previous pattern: 1. 3. Record knob and switch changes for each part and the delay Press Part 1 part key (it will light) hold Shift and press step key 11 (Clear Motion) 2x, to clear previous Motion sequence for Part 1 repeat this step for each part in the pattern. Press to select Part 1 key (it will light) in PART edit section, press Motion Seq to select Smooth or Trig Hold (it will light) press REC key (left of STOP). When pattern reaches last step, REC light will go out and pattern will continue to play - you'll hear new Motion sequence while pattern loops, press Motion Seq key to select Smooth or Trig Hold, and listen to difference in playback. (you can SOLO the part to get a better idea) 3 ER-1 EasyStart Press STOP press to select Part 2 key (it will light), then select either Smooth or TrigHold as type of Motion Sequence press REC press PLAY to record toggle Reverse key off / on, to record new Motion sequence for part 2 press STOP press WRITE 2x to write pattern with the two new Motion sequences. Each time you record a new knob or switch change with the Motion sequence function, it will OVERWRITE the previous Motion sequence for that part. If you’re not satisfied with the Motion Sequence you just recorded, simply re-record it, or Clear the Motion Sequence. When the current pattern finishes, the new pattern will begin to play. The Pattern Set you are working with contains 16 patterns - assigned to the 16 step keys. 2. This holds the current pattern set, and lets you select patterns within the pattern set group - simply by pressing the step keys – for one-touch recall of patterns!This defeats the hold function hold down Pattern Set and press one of the Select keys. This takes you to another Pattern Set (of 16 patterns), and you can continue selecting patterns as above. The selected group will be indicated by the red LED's in the Select section press STOP when finished.
