Applying an effect

1

Select an effect pattern (p. 42).

2

Press the [DISPLAY] button enough times to get the TONE/
TYPE indicator to light.

The display will show the effect type that is specified for the currently
selected effect pattern.

3

Use the [INC] and [DEC] buttons to change the effect type.

* Changes you make are temporary. If you want to keep the new settings, you must

save them (p. 48).

Creating consecutive changes in an
effect (Effect Control)

You can use the step sequencer in conjunction with each effect to create
consecutive changes in the effect settings. This is called

effect control

.

One measure is divided into 16 (or 12) steps, and you can input a value for
each step to specify how the effect will change.

For example, you can use effect control to vary the cutoff frequency of the
filter so that the filter will open and close in stepwise fashion.

fig.4-4_90

Since the effect control speed will follow the standard tempo, you can use it
in conjunction with a variety of performances.

* If you are using loop control to play back a loop, it is not possible to use effect control.
