Pattern

Rotate the dial to select one of the 128 patterns: A01...A64,

...b64.

Setting the playback tempo

Tempo

20.0...300.0

• Using the dial to change the tempo

Use the cursor keys to make the parameter select LEDs indicate
Tempo

. Rotate the dial to modify the tempo.

If you wish to change the tempo units below the decimal place,
hold down the Shift key and rotate the dial.

• Using the Tap Tempo key to

change the tempo

While the pattern is playing, press the Tap key three times or
more at the desired tempo. The ES-1 will calculate the interval
at which you pressed the Tap key, and will change the tempo
accordingly. You can change the tempo in the same way even
when playback is stopped.
When you use the cursor keys to make the parameter select
LEDs indicate Tempo, and the tempo you modified will appear
in the display.

If you switch to a different pattern without writing the pat-
tern whose tempo you modified, the pattern tempo will
return to the previous value. If you wish to keep the modi-
fied tempo, you must perform the Write operation (

☞

p.32

"Saving a pattern").

If you press and hold the Tap key, the Part Mute function
(checking the Part Mute status) will be selected, and the
ES-1 will stop detecting the interval at which Tap tempo
was pressed.

Playing a pattern
(Pattern Play)

Use the cursor keys to make the parameter select LEDs indicate
Pattern

. Press the Play/Pause key to start pattern playback.

When the pattern finishes playing, it will return to the begin-
ning and continue playing.
While listening to a pattern, you can strike the part keys along
with the rhythm, or move the knobs to modify the sound. By
taking advantage of the various functions of Pattern mode as
part of your performance technique, you can enjoy even wider
possibilities.

The timing at which patterns will
change

If you switch patterns during playback, the change will occur
when the currently playing pattern finishes its last step. Until
the pattern actually changes, the pattern number selected in the
display will blink.

Pattern A01

Pattern is changed

Begins playing

Pattern A21

Playing from the beginning of a
pattern (Reset & Play)

If you hold down the Shift key when pressing the Play/Pause
key, the playback will be forced to playback from the begin-
ning. By using this function in conjunction with setting the
tempo by the Tap key, you can synchronize the playback with-
out using MIDI.

In order to ensure that the rhythm always matches, you
will need to perform this adjustment each time.

Pattern A01

About the tempo when the pattern

is changed

If you switch patterns during playback, the tempo of the previ-
ous pattern will always be maintained. If you wish to use the
tempo that is stored in the newly selected pattern, press the
Stop/Cancel key to stop playback, and then start playback once
again. The pattern’s own tempo will be applied from the point
at which the pattern was stopped.
