Playing back in various ways
Using the pedal to switch phrases
(Phrase Shift)
While a phrase is playing, you can press a pedal switch connected to the PHRASE
SHIFT jack to switch to the phrase track of the following number.
It is convenient to store the phrases in consecutive phrase tracks according to the order
in which you intend to perform them.
If you prepare Intro, looped phrase, and Ending, you can use the Phrase Shift to
play them back as a song.
1.
Connect a pedal switch such as the FS-5U (sold separately) to the PHRASE
SHIFT jack (p. 9).
* Pedal switches made by another manufacturer may operate in the opposite way. Such pedal
switches cannot be used.
* If you are using the FS-5U, move the polarity
switch toward the jack.
* The FS-5L cannot be used.
2.
Turn the PHRASE SELECT knob to select the phrase that you wish to play first.
* If the phrase has not been saved, it will be deleted when you switch to a different phrase. For
more on saving phrases, refer to “Saving a phrase” (p. 29).
3.
Press the left pedal to begin playing the phrase.
4.
When you want to switch phrases, press the pedal switch.
The PLAY indicator flashes the same count as the number for the phrase to be played
next, then flashes rapidly, and repeats this pattern.
The unit switches to the phrase with the next number (or, if that is empty, the phrase
after that) at the timing used in returning to the start of the loop.
When the phrase is switched, the PLAY indicator flashes the same count as the number
for the phrase currently being played, then remains lit, and repeats this pattern.
* When the number of the next phrase to be played back matches the phrase number indicated
by the PHRASE SELECT knob, the PLAY indicator flashes rapidly, then remains lit when
the phrases are switched.
You can advance to any phrase while the current phrase is playing by
pressing the pedal switch the corresponding number of times.
* Empty phrase tracks are disregarded. For example, when you press the pedal switch one time
while the Number 1 phrase is playing, if Number 2 is empty, the unit will switch to Number 3.
