2.3.16 Techniques for song playback
By taking advantage of various techniques as you playback a song, you can add vari-
ety to the performance.
● Using the function knobs
●
When you press a KNOB FUNCTION button, the knobs of all tracks will perform
the specified function. When the power is turned on, the knobs will control the
volume (LEVEL) of each track.
→ When the [LEVEL] parameter is selected, you can create fade-in/out effects for
an individual track. The MASTER track knob will control the master volume, al-
lowing you to fade-in/out the entire song.
You can use the KNOB FUNCTION buttons to select a parameter, and use the
knobs to control the sound while the song plays back.
●
If you assign knob functions for each track beforehand in the TRACK SET/MAIN
screen (→ p.231), these knob function assignments will be in effect when the main
display is shown. This method lets you assign different knob functions for each
track.
●
If you use SYSTEM/SETUP/REC MODE (→ p.300) to set the sequencer recording
mode to “OVERDUB,” you can record additional knob movements onto existing
song data.
● Pad play
●
You can strike pads to play samples during playback. In addition to simply playing
samples from the pads, you can also use the [ROLL] or [LOOP RESTART] pad
functions.
●
The pad function [ON/MUTE] lets you halt playback of a currently-sounding
sample, or cause a currently-muted loop to be heard.
● Adding an external source (AUDIO IN)
●
While a song plays back, you can mix in an audio source from the ANALOG IN-
PUT. You can use the AUDIO IN track knob to adjust the volume, pan, and effects
of the audio input. You can also mute it.
● Using the ribbon controller
●
The ribbon controller can be used to control parameters in the same way as the
function knobs. Specify the track and the parameter that you wish to control. (→
