Editing the sound of a part, effect, or delay while hearing a

song or pattern

1.In either Song mode or Pattern mode, press the Play/Pause key to begin playback.

2.Press a part key (the key will light) to select the part that

you wish to edit.

3.Operate the knobs and keys of the Synth Filter section

or Part Common section to modify the sound. Operate
the knobs and keys of the Effect/Delay section to modify
the effect or delay.

Operating the knobs or keys will modify the sound that is
used by the performance.

If you wish to save the pattern sound settings that you
edit here, use the Write procedure (see p.21 “Saving a pat-
tern that you create”)
If you re-select the pattern or turn off the power without performing the Write proce-
dure, the sound will return to its un-edited state.

When you press a drum part key, the keyboard function of the step keys will be
defeated, but will return to the previous setting when you once again select a synth
part.

While a Song is playing, it is not possible to write edits made to the part sound,
effect, or delay. It is only possible to write edits made to the part sound while a
Pattern is playing.

Modifying (editing) a rhythm or phrase pattern

Rhythm patterns and phrase patterns

Each pattern of the EM-1 contains a rhythm pattern created using
the drum parts, and phrase patterns created using the synth parts.
The rhythm pattern consists of sequence patterns (note timing
data) for each step of each part.
Phrase patterns consist of trigger (note location), note number
(pitch), and gate time (note length) data at each step for each part.
You can use the sixteen step keys to modify the rhythm and phrase
patterns for the various parts. Rhythm and phrase patterns can
also be recorded (by realtime recording) as you play. (See p.25
“Pattern mode”)

As described below, there are two ways to edit a rhythm
pattern, and three ways to edit a phrase.

• Realtime recording

While playing back a pattern, you can use the part keys or the keyboard function (for
synth parts only) to record a new phrase along with the playback.

• Step recording

You can use the step keys to create a sequence pattern, or individually input the pitch
and length of each note to record a new phrase.

• Note editing (only for phrase patterns)

You can edit the data (trigger, note number, gate time) of the selected step to create a
phrase.

In the following pages we will explain how to perform Realtime Recording and Step
Recording. For details on Note Editing, refer to Note Editing (p.32) in "Pattern mode."
