Checking and editing notes
10.
To listen to the pattern of notes, press PITCH MODE
to return to the start of the pattern, and press
WRITE/NEXT to play the notes one at a time. (Press
PITCH MODE at any time to return to the start.)
11.
1To change a note that has just played, press BACK
to go back to that step. Then press the new note
(or to change octave, press and hold either of the
TRANSPOSE up or down switches and then press the
desired note).
12.
Continue to press WRITE/NEXT until all notes have
been played, or press PITCH MODE to return to the
start, or FUNCTION to exit PITCH MODE.
13.
To redo the whole pattern, repeat step 3 onwards.
Writing the timing in TIME MODE
After all notes have been entered, you need to enter the
timing of each note in TIME MODE. Note: While in TIME
MODE, no sounds will be heard.

TIME MODE
NOTE TIE REST
14.
Press the TIME MODE switch and its LED will turn on.
15.
In TIME MODE, you can play the NOTE as it is, or add a
TIE, or a REST using three switches as shown above.
For example, for 16 notes, you could press these three
switches as follows: Note, Rest, Rest, Note, Tie, Note, Note,
Tie, Note, Note, Tie, Note, Note, Note, Tie, Note. Whenever
you reach the required number of notes (which you set in
procedure 7 above), it will automatically exit TIME MODE.
Note: To play all the notes just as they are, repeatedly
press the NOTE switch until you exit TIME MODE. This will
create a simple Arpeggio.
Checking and editing timing
16.
To check the timing is OK, press TIME MODE, and
press WRITE/NEXT to cycle through the pattern
steps, one at a time. Look at the LEDs to see which
step is a note, tie, or rest.
17.
To change the timing of the pattern, repeat
steps 14 and 15 to re-enter the new timing.
(Press TIME MODE at any time to return to the
start of the pattern.)
18.
Now that the notes and timing have been added,
you can play the pattern by pressing FUNCTION to
return to normal mode, and then press START/STOP.
As the pattern repeats, you can change the TEMPO
and adjust the synthesizer controls as required.
Alternative timing method
There is another way of entering the timing:
19.
Press FUNCTION and then START/STOP to play the
existing pattern.
20.
Press the CLEAR switch and you will hear a
metronome, with a downbeat at the beginning of
the pattern.
21.
Tap on the TAP switch, in the timing you would
like. Turn down the TEMPO if this will help. To add
Sustain, press and hold down TAP.
22.
Repeat steps 20 and 21 until the timing sounds good
(or repeat steps 14 and 15 if you prefer this method).
Adding or deleting ACCENT and SLIDE
23.
While still in PATTERN WRITE MODE, press PITCH
MODE and its LED will turn on. Press WRITE/NEXT
repeatedly to play each note of the current pattern.
24.
When you reach a note that you would like to add
an accent or a slide to, keep holding the WRITE/
NEXT(don't release it). If you go past a note you want
to change, press BACK first, then press and hold
WRITE/NEXT.
