1. EFFECT
In this section you can select the type of effect and
adjust various parameters. : supports motion se-
quence.
TYPE (effect type): Selects the type of effect.
FX EDIT1 (effect edit 1) : Adjusts the effect. The
actual parameter being controlled will
depend on the effect type.
FX EDIT2 (effect edit 2) : Adjusts the effect. The
actual parameter being controlled will
depend on the effect type.
FX CHAIN (effect chain): On the EMX-1, the output
of one effects processor can be fed to the
input of another. The connection will
change each time you press this, and the
connection that is lit will be used.
EDIT SELECT : Chooses which effects processor is
currently being edited.
MOTION SEQ. (motion sequence): Records and
plays back movements of the FX EDIT1
and FX EDIT2 knobs. This will alternate
between on (lit) and off (dark) each time
it is pressed.
2. PART COMMON
These are the parameters that are common to the
drum parts and to the synth parts.
: supports
motion sequence.
MOTION SEQ. (motion sequence): Turning this
function on will allow you to record and
playback knob movements for each part.
This key will change successively be-
tween on (SMOOTH lit), on (TRIG
HOLD lit), and off (dark) each time it is
pressed.
PITCH/GLIDE : For a drum part, this knob sets
the pitch. For a synth part, it specifies
the time it takes for the pitch to change
smoothly between two legato notes.
EG TIME : Adjusts the envelope time (the time it
takes for the note to decay) for each part.
PAN (panpot) : This controls the position of the
part in the stereo field for the line out-
puts (L/MONO, R) or headphones. If a
part is set to the individual (3/4) output
bus (☞p.26: Output bus) this control will
adjust the panning to the individual out-
puts (INDIV. OUT 3, 4).
LEVEL : Adjusts the volume of each part. For an
accent part, this will adjust the strength
of the accent.
AMP EG : Selects the amp envelope shape for each
part. The envelope will alternate be-
tween
(decay) or (non-decay) each
time you press this.
ROLL : For each part, this will switch the roll ef-
fect on (lit) or off (dark).
FX SELECT (effect select) : Selects which effect
processor will be applied to each part.
If FX SEND is on, the selected effect will
be applied. This setting is ignored for
parts whose output bus (☞p.26: Output
bus) setting is 3/4.
FX SEND (effect send) : Selects whether the sound
of the current part will be sent to the se-
lected effect. This will alternate between
on (lit) and off (dark) each time it is
pressed. This setting is ignored for parts
whose output bus (☞p.26: Output bus)
setting is 3/4.
3. MODULATION
These are the parameters such as LFO and EG that
create time-varying changes in the sound. : sup-
ports motion sequence.
SPEED : Adjusts the modulation speed.
DEPTH : Adjusts the modulation depth.
TYPE (modulation type) : Selects the type of
modulation.
DEST (destination) : Selects which parameter will
be affected by the modulation.
BPM SYNC : Turning this on (lit) will cause the
modulation to be in sync with the cur-
rent tempo.
4. SYNTH OSCILLATOR
This section produces the waveform that is the
basis of the synth part.
: supports motion se-
quence.
TYPE (oscillator type): Selects the synthesis model
being used by the oscillator.
OSC EDIT1 (oscillator edit 1) : Modifies the os-
cillator waveform. The actual parameter
being adjusted will depend on the oscil-
lator model.
OSC EDIT2 (oscillator edit 2) : Modifies the os-
cillator waveform. The actual parameter
being adjusted will depend on the oscil-
lator model.
These parameters have no effect on drum parts.
