* When you want to place the currently set step at the very end,
turn the PATCH/VALUE dial clockwise in the settings screen
for the step that follows it (it does not matter which parameter
is selected), until “---” appears in the bottom row of the screen.
STEP
Sets the step number. The number within the phrase is
displayed.
Pitch
Inputs the pitches of the notes. Specify by how many
semitones notes are to be raised or lowered.
Length
Inputs the note lengths. Specify the length of notes on the
score.
Sound
This setting determines the manner in which sounds are
played.
Mute:
Mutes are specified as note lengths without the sound being
played.
Stacc:
Staccato, whereby the sound is played extremely briefly.
Full:
The note is played for its full specified length.
Attack
Specifies that the note is to be played with an attack.
Less:
The note is played with no attack. Good for hammering and
other such techniques.
Thumb:
The note is played with the sound as if the string is struck
with the thumb.
Pluck:
The note is played with the sound as if the string is plucked
with the index finger.
You can express ghost notes by setting “Mute” and
specifying “Thumb” or “Pluck.”
■ SDD: Short Delay
This is a delay with the maximum delay time of 400 ms. This
is an effective way to make the sound fatter.
Parameter Value
Delay Time 0 ms–700 ms, BPM –BPM
Feedback 0–100
Effect Level 0–120
Delay Time
Adjusts the delay time.
* When set to BPM, the value of each parameter is set according
to the value of the Master BPM (p. 44) specified for each patch.
This makes it easy to achieve effect sound settings that match
the tempo of the song (synchronizing the cycle to one-half or
one-fourth of the BPM when the set cycle rate is increased).
When setting to the BPM, press PARAMETER [
] to
display the Master BPM settings screen.
Feedback
Feedback refers to returning the delayed signal back into the
input of the delay. This parameter adjusts the volume that is
returned to the input. Higher settings result in more delay
repeats.
Effect Level
Adjusts the volume of the delay sound.
