When the song data is played back to a location where Track Mute on/off data
was written, the mute settings you made manually will change.
■ Using the ROLL Pad Function
The roll function generates a drum-roll (machine-gun) type of sound by rapidly re-
peating the first part of the sample. The repetition rate is set by the interval, or “reso-
lution.” Let’s try it out now.
1. Set the roll rate (the “resolution”).
Press the [NOTE] button once. Then hold down the [ROLL] pad-function but-
ton. The NOTE area of the screen will now blink “RESOLUTION=” to indicate
the currently set roll rate (resolution) as a note value symbol.

2. Continue to hold down the [ROLL] button and turn the dial to change the rate.
Select the rate that you want to try.
3. With the song playing back, hold down the [ROLL] button and press and hold
the pad for the (un-muted) track that you want to roll. As long as you hold the
pad down, the sample will repeatedly playback from its beginning for the length
that you specified by the Resolution setting.
●
Roll works best with samples that start out with a sharp attack. It does not
work so well with samples that start out quietly, or samples that have a por-
tion of silence at their beginning.
●
The Roll function cannot be used when the sequencer is stopped.
