8. As appropriate for the SPEED setting, adjust the SMOOTH setting (value knob

2) to specify how smoothly the steps change.

HINT: Use the expression pedal to control the speed of the sequencer. If the SPEED
parameter is set to PEdL, you can use the expression pedal to control the step.

HINT: If you advance the expression pedal all the way forward to press the switch
located underneath the pedal, the effect assigned to the target parameter will be
switched on/off.

When you’ve finished making settings, save (write) the program.
To specify the MIN and MAX settings of the sequence speed controlled by the
expression pedal, activate ESS and press the EXP/CTL button; then use MIN-
SPEED (value knob 2) and MAX SPEED (value knob 3) to specify the minimum
and maximum settings.

ESS

You can use the control switch to control ESS operations such as start and stop.
To do so, press the EXP/CTL button, and use value knob 5 to select one of the fol-
lowing ways in which the control switch will control the ESS.

NOTE: ESS TAP1, ESS TAP2, and ESS TRIG will have no effect if the ESS SPEED
parameter is set to PEdL.

NOTE: ESS CTL, ESS TAP1, ESS TAP2, and ESS TRIG will have no effect if ESS
is turned off.

NOTE: For ESS TAP1 and ESS TAP2, the CONTROL switch LED will blink at the
specified tempo.

NOTE: The maximum tap interval is 10 seconds.

NOTE: If you’ve selected ESS CTL1 (or CTL2), and LAST STEP-MODE is 1-shot
(“*-#1”), the sequence will begin from step 1 each time you press the control
switch, and ESS (or the corresponding effect) will automatically turn off when the
last step is completed. If you press the control switch while the steps are still pro-
ceeding, the sequence will re-start from step 1.

NOTE: If you’ve selected ESS TAP1 or ESS TAP2, and LAST STEP-MODE is 1-
shot, the sequence will begin from step 1 each time you press the control switch.
