Adding accents to a part
Specifying the accent locations and strength
You can apply an accent (volume emphasis) independently to the
drum parts and to the synth parts.
If accent is on, notes at the accented location (step) will be empha-
sized.
1. Press either the drum part ACCENT key or the synth part ACCENT
key; the step keys will indicate the accented locations.
2. Each time you press a step key, the accent will be turned on/off for
that location, letting you specify the accent pattern.
3. Use the level knob in the Part Common section to adjust the amount
of accent. Turning the knob toward the right will produce a greater
difference between the accented and un-accented sounds. If you turn
the knob all the way to the left, there will be no difference between
the accented and un-accented sounds.
Pressing the accent part key will not produce any sound. Also, when
you press a part key to play its sound, the sound will play at the
accented level.
By playing back the pattern while you make this adjustment you can
hear the results.
Accent settings will not af fect a part whose ACCENT SW is turned
off.
Specifying the parts that will be accented
ACCENT SW ............................................................... On, Off
You can enable/disable the accent function separately for each part.
1. Press the PART EDIT key (it will light).
2. Use the [ ]/[ ] cursor keys until the parameter display shows “Ac-
cent Sw.” The “ ” symbols at the bottom of the screen will show the
accent status (enabled/disabled) of each part. Press a part key, and
turn the dial to switch the accent function on (lit) or off (dark) for
that part.
When you execute Pattern Clear, the accent switch will be turned on
for all parts.
Transposing a phrase (Transpose)
TRANSPOSE ............................................................... -24...24
Use this function to transposea the pitch of synth parts 1–5.
1. While you hold down the TRANSPOSE key, the display will indi-
cate the current transpose setting.
2. Hold down the TRANSPOSE key and turn the dial to transpose the
phrases in semitone steps. A setting of
± 1 transposes the pitch by one
semitone, ± 2 by a whole step, ± 7 by a fifth, and ± 12 by one octave.
If transposition is being used, the TRANSPOSE key will blink. When
you set the value to “0” the key will go dark.
You can also hold down the TRANSPOSE key and use the step keys
and select keys to specify the transpose amount.
If you hold down the TRANSPOSE key and press a step key to trans-
pose, step key 4 will correspond to the normal pitch of “C."
If you transpose while soloing a part, the key will remain lit (not blink-
ing). It will blink when you defeat the Solo setting.
The transpose setting is not remembered. It is reset to 0 when you
turn on the power .
If a wave of the PCM Chord Set category ( ☞ p.40) is selected for the
synth part, the chord or octave may change if you edit the transpose
setting.
