Selecting a pattern
1. Press the PATTERN key (the key will light).
2. Press the [ ] cursor key until the display indicates “(patter n name ).”
3. Turn the dial to select a pattern.
You can use the dial to select from a total of 256 patterns: A.01–A.64,
B.01–B.64, C.01–C.64, D.01–D.64.
You can also select patterns while the EMX-1 is playing.
To check which patterns playing
When the PATTERN key is lit, press the PATTERN key and the dis-
play will show “(pattern name ).”
To force playback to restart at the beginning of the pattern
During playback, you can press the RESET key to force the pattern
to play back from the beginning.
If you want to perform in synchronization with an external audio source,
you can use the TAP key to match the tempo, and then press the RESET
key at the beginning of each phrase to synchronize your performance
without using MIDI.
About the timing of changing patterns
If you change patterns during playback, the currently-playing pat-
tern will finish playing first, and then the newly selected pattern
will begin to play. The name of the pattern waiting to be played next
will blink in the display until the change occurs.
If you change patterns during playback, you may hear noise or un-
wanted sounds at the transition due to the ef fect or delay settings, or
in some cases the effect sound may drop out.
If the patterns before and after the change use the same ef fect but
with dif ferent settings, the result will sound the same as if you had
turned those knobs.
Setting the playback tempo
TEMPO ................................................................ 20.0...300.0
Using the dial to set the tempo.
1. Press the PATTERN key (lit).
2. Use the [ ]/[ ] cursor keys until the display indicates “Tempo.”
3. Turn the dial to adjust the tempo.
4. If you want to save this tempo setting, write it into memory. (☞p.64
Saving a pattern )
The tempo of the pattern will return to its original setting if you select
another pattern without writing the new tempo .
If the TEMPO LOCK key is of f (dark), and you change patterns, the
tempo will change to the tempo stored with the new pattern.
To set the tempo more precisely
By holding down the shift key and turning the dial you can adjust
the tempo in units below the decimal point (i.e.: 120.4).
