Step sequencer

Specific sounds such as kick, snare, and tom are already

assigned to the 12 tones used by the step sequencer.

Note: If you hold down the STEP SEQ ACTIVE button,

the currently selected tone number will light up. If you

press this button, the ASSIGN INST TO TONE dialog

box will appear. In this dialog box you can change the

sound that’s assigned to the tone. Please see the following

section.

5. Press pads 1–16 to enter steps for the next tone.

Changing the drum sounds

Switching the sounds of all tones (switching the

drum set)

Here’s how to change the drum sounds.

1. Access the Program mode P-STEP SEQ>BASIC page.

2. Select Program, and use the VALUE dial etc. to

change the drum program.

Changing the sounds (instruments) for each tone

Variations are provided for the sounds that are played by

each tone.

1. While you hold down the STEP SEQ ACTIVE button

, the currently selected TONE 1–12 pads will light up.

To specify an instrument, select the pad for the TONE

that you want to specify, making that pad light up;

then press the lit pad to access the ASSIGN INST TO

TONE dialog box.

Note: Tone 13 is the accent tone. You cannot assign an

instrument to it.

Tip: You can also access this dialog box by using the

Assign Inst To Tone function.

2. Use the cursor buttons ◄► to select Inst variation

category, and press the ENTER button to switch

between categories and All.

If All is selected, you’ll be able to choose drum sounds

from all instruments. If a category is selected, you’ll be

able to choose from instruments of that category.

If the category is set to Inst variation category,

switching programs may also switch the note number of

the Inst variation. This is because an instrument of the

same category does not exist at the same note number as

the program that you changed, and therefore a nearby

instrument of the same category has been assigned.

3. Use the VALUE dial etc. to select an instrument.

You can press the PAGE+ (AUDITION) button to hear

the sound you selected.

You can also play the keyboard to hear the candidate

instrument. If Inst variation category is set to All, all keys

will produce sound. If a category is selected, sound will

be produced only by the keys where a corresponding

instrument has been assigned.

You can also select by holding down the STEP SEQ

ACTIVE button and playing a key.

4. To specify the sound for another tone, hold down the

STEP SEQ ACTIVE button and press a pad 1–12 to

switch tones, or choose Tone No. and use the VALUE

dial etc. to change the setting.

MENU (OK) button.
