●
You can switch the function to PLAY, ON/MUTE, or LOOP RESTART at any time
by pressing the corresponding function selector. If you are working at the main
screen, pressing the button will move you to a function screen and all pads will be
set to control the selected pad function.
●
If you wish to use the ROLL function, you must hold down the [ROLL] button
while pressing the pad(s). When you release the [ROLL] button, the function selec-
tion automatically switches to PLAY.
●
While you are working at a function screen, the top line of the screen indicates the
currently selected function (see illustration directly above). But note that the ROLL
function is not shown (is indicated as PLAY).
Be aware that the pads for COMPOSED LOOP and FREE tracks include velocity
sensors. If you set the PAD SENS parameter to ON in the SYSTEM | SETUP job
(→ p.301), these pads will be sensitive to velocity (striking force), so that harder
presses will generate louder sound. Pad sensitivity works for both the PLAY function
and the ROLL function; it has no meaning when you are using the MUTE or LOOP
RESTART functions.
The operation of each function varies according to track type and sequencer mode.
The following is an explanation of how each function works under each sequencer
mode. Refer also to Table x-x for a more detailed breakdown.
