Functions, Menus and Shortcuts

Sets the length (the last step) of the selected pattern.

• This can be set separately for rhythm and for bass.
• The rhythm and bass may be out of sync if their last steps are different. By setting Pattern Sync to “OnCE”, reselecting the current pattern lines up the instruments the next time they start.

Switches the steps to edit with the sequencer to the second half (page 2).
If the last step is 16 or less, the last step is changed to 32.

Inserts a fill-in at the end of the pattern.
Uses the pattern selected by FILL PTN.

Sets the pattern number where a fill-in is inserted, by using the step buttons (1–16).

• Set this for each bank.

htON: The high tom sound.

Selects the bass waveform.
SAľ: Sawtooth wave
Sqr: Square wave

Adjusts the strength of the bass accent.

ƳSyn
 (Pattern Sync)

Sets the synchronization timing of the rhythm and bass sequencer patterns.
OFF: The rhythm sequencer and bass sequencer each play their next patterns individually, when their respective patterns finish playing. If their pattern lengths are different, the patterns play out of time.
OnCE (Once): The bass sequencer goes to the next pattern at the same time that the rhythm sequencer does. If the pattern lengths for the respective sequencers differ, the patterns start at the same time, but they play out of time afterwards.
ALľy (Always): The bass sequencer pattern changes in time with the rhythm sequencer; and when the rhythm sequencer pattern returns to the beginning, the bass sequencer pattern also returns to the beginning.

Sets the rhythm sequencer’s step scale.
16: Sixteenth note
32: Thirty-second note
8-3: Eighth note triplets
16-3: Sixteenth note triplets

Sets the bass sequencer’s step scale.
On: Triplet grid (1 step = eighth note triplet)
OFF: 1 step = sixteenth note

Turns overdrive on/off for the selected instrument.
To select an instrument, press the corresponding instrument button.

The overdrive level.
To select an instrument, press the corresponding instrument button.

Sets the depth of the side chain effect that uses a rhythm instrument as a trigger, as well as the effect’s sustain time. A value within 1–50 changes the depth, and a value above 50 changes the sustain time at a specific depth.

• The side chain effect is triggered by the rhythm sequencer. Although the side chain effect sustains when you turn down the LEVEL knob for the instrument you selected for the trigger source, muting the trigger source instrument causes the side chain effect to become lost.

dv.50–dv. 1
–OFF–
Gt.1–Gt.50

Configures the depth of the ducking or gate effect when side chained to an instrument, delay/reverb or USB input.
How to select the target to set:
Instrument: each instrument button
Delay/reverb: [ACCENT] button
USB input: [SHIFT] + [ACCENT] button

When the value is set to 1.0, the effect is applied in lengths of eighth notes respective to the tempo.
Adjust the time it takes to change, to match the musical style and phrases.

Sets which synchronization signal is used by this unit.
AUTO (Auto): Inputted clocks are accepted.
InT (Int): The unit operates according to its internal clock.
NIDI (MIDI): Only MIDI input is accepted.
USB (USB): Only USB MIDI input is accepted.

• Note that when a device is connected to the SYNC IN jack, the unit always synchronizes to the clocks that are inputted to the SYNC IN jack.

USƼd
 (USB Direct Out)

Sets whether the [VOLUME] knob affects the output volume of signal going to USB.
OFF: The volume set using the [VOLUME] knob affects the signal volume that’s output via USB.
1–127: The volume set using the [VOLUME] knob does not affect the signal volume that’s output via USB, and the sound is output at the set volume.

ƷLnk (*1)
 (AIRA Link)

Set this to ON when connecting a device via USB that is compatible with AIRA LINK, such as the MX-1. Otherwise, leave this at the OFF setting.
The setting takes effect after the unit is powered off and on again.

Sets the curve for the [LEVEL] knob.
After you make this setting, the level curve setting is applied once you move the [LEVEL] knob.
