Lowering this value will produce flatter dynamics, but may give you a greater sense of "speed" for techno-style phrases. Adjusts the accent of the rhythm pattern. Refer to "Using the Rhythm Pattern function to create phrases" (p. This tempo is the same as the tempo of the sequencer. This means that when you use the Arpeggio together with the sequencer, the arpeggio will always stay in synchronization with the song tempo.

Change the "PAD Number" to the pad you noted in step 1. fig. 2-01a For more details "Pad Trigger(Pad-related settings)" (p. 122) in Owner's Manual 41 Modifying the sound You can vary the sound by moving your hand closer to, or further from the sensor.

[. . . ] If you're using numerous parts and find it difficult to tell them apart, you can use Mute or Solo to mute instruments (drums, bass, piano, etc. ) one by one as you create the balance. Panpot It's most common to place the drums and bass in the center. Panning the chordal instruments to the left and right will create a nice, stable ensemble. Lead instruments are best placed near the center, but panning them slightly to left or right can sometimes make the mix sound better. Reverb Reverb creates the acoustical sensation of playing in a studio or hall. However, applying reverb excessively will make the sound blurry and indistinct. [. . . ]
