Sets the pattern’s volume.

Nod.d

rS.Nd
(Riser Mode) (*1)

A riser is a rising sound that’s added to a song as the song builds in excitement and reaches its climax. In contrast, a “downer” is a falling sound.
Use the [NOISE] knob to control both the riser and downer effects.

When the [NOISE] knob is set to minimum (“r.0”) or maximum (“d.0”), the riser sound is muted.
You can add excitement to the sequencer’s performance by making the riser go up from minimum Ó midpoint (r.100) as the song moves towards its climax, and then go down from midpoint Ó maximum (d. 0) once the song has reached its climax.
Although the riser produces an intermittent sound over the range from the minimum to midpoint [NOISE] knob settings, it works differently depending on the Riser Mode.
The riser works the same from the midpoint to maximum setting (a continuous falling sound).
You can change the knob position without outputting the riser sound if you hold down the [SHIFT] button while turning the [NOISE] knob, after you turn the [NOISE] knob from minimum to maximum (the muted state).
This lets you output the riser sound at the position you like.

  • You can also use the [SHIFT] button + [1] pad + [2] pad to switch between settings.

OFF

With this setting, the [NOISE] knob is used to adjust the noise level.
When the Riser Mode is set to anything besides OFF, you can use the [NOISE] knob to control the riser.
SynC

The riser sound is output intermittently upbeat of the quarter notes, in time with the tempo.

qUiv The intervals between riser sound output get faster as you turn the [NOISE] knob clockwise.
qvPn The riser sound pans faster from left to right as you turn the [NOISE] knob clockwise.

  • You can also switch between settings by holding down the [PATTERN] button and turning the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob.
N.Prb
(Master Probability)
-100100 (in units of 10)

Changes the probability that notes are played by adding/subtracting the master probability to/from the probability that each step plays (which is set for each step in the pattern).

  • You can also set this by holding down the [STEP] button and turning the [TEMPO/VALUE] knob.
n.Pri
(Note Priority)
LASt, Loľ When the POLY function is set to “Nono”, “Uni”, “Chd” for single note input, and ENV TRG is set to a value “LFO” or “GAtE”, this sets whether the last notes are given priority (Last) or the lowest notes (Low).

GL.d.r
(Global Delay/Reverb SW)

OFF, On

Selects whether to control delay and reverb by using the pattern parameters or by using the system parameters.
When this is “OFF”, the delay or reverb is muted when you switch patterns, as the delay/reverb settings may vary with each pattern.
When this is “On”, the system settings are used, and the delay or reverb sound carries over even when you switch between patterns.

d.L.Nd
(Delay Level Mode)

PrE, PoSt Sets which level to adjust when the [DELAY] knob is used, the input level (Pre) or the output level (Post).
With the “PrE” setting, the delay sound fades out smoothly when you turn down the [DELAY] knob; and with the “PoSt” setting, the delay sound is instantly muted when you turn down the [DELAY] knob.
