Keeping foreign matter out of your equipment
• Never set any container with liquid in it near this equipment. [. . . ] Use the dial to select the sample that you wish to Delete. Hold down the Shift key and press step key 14 (Delete Sample). Press step key 14 once again to delete the sample. (Key 14 will go dark. ) If you decide to cancel without deleting, press the Stop/Cancel key. Once a sample has been deleted, it cannot be recovered.
Checking the remaining amount of sampling area (Memory)
Use the cursor keys to make the parameter select LED indicate Memory. The display will indicate the remaining number of seconds of sampling time. It is not possible to edit the Memory parameter. Since stereo sampling uses twice as much memory, the available amount of sampling time will be half the amount that is displayed.

Saving a sample (WRITE)
After you record or modify a sample, you must perform the Write operation if you wish to keep the data. If you wish to intentionally discard the changes you have made to a sample and revert to the original data, simply change samples without saving. Press the Write key (the key will blink). The sample number will blink in the display. If you wish to keep the modified tempo, you must perform the Write operation (p. 32 "Saving a pattern"). If you press and hold the Tap key, the Part Mute function (checking the Part Mute status) will be selected, and the ES-1 will stop detecting the interval at which Tap tempo was pressed.

About the tempo when the pattern is changed
If 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.

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 beginning 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.
