7. Press the SEQ button to enter Sequencer mode, and
select 000 for “Song Select.”
The following song data has been set/created
automatically as you specified in step 5.
• P0: Play/REC page
Song: 000, Meter: 4/4, Tempo: 112
• P0: Play/REC– MIDI Track Prog Select/Mixer page
Track01 Program: as desired (for instance, U-G000)
• P5: Track Edit, Track Edit page
Track01: track data: 8 measures (D2–)
Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch to start
playback.
As an example, set “q (Tempo)” to 100. Notice that the
pitch does not change when you play back at a different
tempo.
If the beat of the original rhythm loop sample is not
reproduced correctly when you change the tempo, or if
obtrusive noise is heard, this is because the sample was
not sliced appropriately in step 4. The way in which the
percussion instrument sounds were divided will have a
major impact on the quality of the playback when the
tempo is changed. You will need to adjust the way in
which the samples are divided in step 4.
The silence between samples may become obtrusive if
you play back at a slower tempo, or noise may occur
between samples if you play back at a faster tempo. To
avoid such problems, you can set Stretch “New BPM” or
“Ratio” in step 5 to the tempo at which you want to play
back, and execute time stretch to adjust the length of each
sample. For more information, see “Time Stretch” on
page 747 of the Parameter Guide.
8. In “Song Select,” choose 001.
The following song data has been set/created
automatically as you specified in step 5.
• P0: Play/REC page
Song: 001, Meter: 4/4, Tempo: 112, RPPR: On
• P0: Play/REC– MIDI Track Prog Select/Mixer page
Track01 Program: as desired (for instance, U-G001)
• P5: Pattern/RPPR, RPPR Setup page
Key: C#2, Assign: On,
Pattern: User, U00, Track: Track01
Pattern data: 1 measure (D2–)
In the P0: Play/REC– MIDI Track Prog Select/Mixer
page, press the C#2 key. The RPPR function will begin
playing pattern U00.
In the P5: Pattern/RPPR, Pattern Edit page, press the
SEQUENCER START/STOP switch to start playback of
pattern U00.
When you press the C#2 key in the P5: Pattern/RPPR,
RPPR Setup page, the RPPR function will start playing
pattern U00.
In the same way as in step 7, changing the playback
tempo will not affect the pitch.
