Selecting a pattern

Pattern

A01...d64

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

Rotate the dial to select one of the 256 patterns: A01...A64,
b01...b64

, C01...C64, and d01...d64. By holding down the Shift

key as you rotate the dial, you can change the pattern number
in steps of ten.

Setting the playback tempo

Tempo

20...300

• 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.

• 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 ER-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
pattern whose tempo you modified, the pattern tempo
will return to the previous value. If you wish to keep the
modified tempo, you must perform the Write operation
(refer to p.32 "Saving a pattern").

If you press and hold the Tap key, the Part Mute func-
tion (checking the Part Mute status) will be selected,
and the ER-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

When 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

When you switch patterns during playback, the tempo of the
previous 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.
