Operation modes of the PS-04
The PS-04 has the following four operation modes. You can see which mode is
currently active by the light on/off status of the [EFFECT], [RHYTHM], and
[SYSTEM] keys on the panel.
●
AUDIO mode
This is the mode for recording and playing back audio. The PS-04 is always in this
mode after power-on and after you quit one of the other modes. In this mode, the
indicators of the [EFFECT], [RHYTHM], and [SYSTEM] keys are all out.
●
EFFECT mode
In this mode, you select patches for the insert effect and send/return effect, edit parameters, and perform
other effect related functions. To switch to this mode from any other mode, press the [EFFECT] key so
that the indicator lights up.
● RHYTHM mode
In this mode, you control the various rhythm functions. To switch to this mode from any other mode,
press the [RHYTHM] key so that the indicator lights up.
The rhythm functions of the PS-04 are further divided into PATTERN mode for repeatedly playing
patterns, and SONG mode for playing the rhythm accompaniment to an entire song. By repeatedly
pressing the [RHYTHM] key, you can switch between these two modes.
●
SYSTEM mode
This mode is used to create new projects and to make settings that affect operation of the entire PS-04.
To switch to this mode from any other mode, press the [SYSTEM] key so that the indicator lights up.
