Introduction
Overview
Overview of the modes
The TR has a large number of functions that let you
play and edit programs and combinations, record and
play sequence data, and manage data on media. The
largest unit used to organize these functions is called a
mode. The TR has five modes.
If the separately sold EXB-SMPL option is installed,
Sampling mode will be added (for a total of six
modes), and you will be able to record and edit sam-
ples.
Program mode
• Select and play programs
You can choose programs from rewritable banks A,
B, C, and D which contain a total of 512 programs,
and non-rewritable bank G (128 programs compati-
ble with the GM standard, and nine drum pro-
grams).
• Edit a program
Make settings for the oscillator, filter, amp, EG, LFO,
effects, and arpeggiator.
Select a multisample (the following multisamples
are available)
• 470 internal multisamples (ROM, EX)
• Multisamples (RAM) created in Sampling mode
(if the separately sold EXB-SMPL option is
installed)
• Create drum programs using a drum kit (created
in Global mode)
Combination mode
• Select and play combinations
A combination is a set of two or more programs (a
maximum of eight), and allows you to produce
complex sounds that could not be created by an
individual program.
You can choose combinations from rewritable banks
A, B, and C which contain a total of 384 combina-
tions.
• Edit a combination
Make settings for volume, pan, layer/split etc. for
each timbre (program), and make settings for effects
and the two arpeggiators etc.
Sequencer mode
• Use the 16-track sequencer to record and playback
songs.
• Make effect settings for the song.
• You can record a performance using the
arpeggiator(s) into a song or pattern.
• You can use a cue list to set up consecutive
playback of multiple songs, and specify the number
of repeats for each song.
• You can use a maximum of 20 cue lists, 200 songs,
and 150 preset patterns. One song can use as many
as 100 patterns.
• The TR can be used as a 16-track multitimbral tone
generator.
