Using effects

Here's how to apply an effect to the sound. You can 
use either effect 'a' or b', but not both.
• Press the FX button. Each time you press it, the 

effect setting will cycle through effect 'a' (the 'a' 
indicator lit), effect 'b' (the 'b' indicator lit), and 
off (both indicators 'a' and 'b' unlit).

You won't be able to switch effects if the CLIP, 
PAD, 'a', or 'b' indicators are blinking (Edit mode). 
In this case, press the CLIP/PAD button to make the 
indicator light up.

note: 

You can assign different effect types to effects 

'a' and 'b'. You can also adjust settings such as the 
amount of effect that will be applied. For details on 
these settings, refer to “Editing the settings” (See 
page 14).

note: 

Immediately after the power is turned on, the 

effect will be off. 'a' and 'b' will remember the set-
tings that you had last specified before turning the 
power off.

note: 

You can also exit Edit mode by pressing the 

,  , or + buttons as well as the CLIP/PAD 

button.

Playing and overdubbing 
rhythm patterns

You can enjoy jamming along with rhythm patterns 
in a variety of genres. You can also overdub your 
own performance onto these rhythm patterns.

Playing back a rhythm pattern

1.

While holding down the SHIFT button, press the 

 button to make the rhythm pattern / looper 

select indication (located in the upper right of the 
operating panel) light up.
This selects the rhythm pattern function.

2.

Press the 

 button to start playback (the indi-

cator will light).

3.

Press the 

 button to stop playback (the indi-

cator will go dark).

4.

You can choose from 100 different rhythm pat-
terns. To switch rhythm patterns, press the + but-
ton. The next rhythm pattern (i.e., the pattern of 
the following number) will be selected. If you 
hold down the SHIFT button and press the + but-
ton, the previous rhythm pattern will be selected. 

By holding down the + button, you can step 
through the rhythm patterns.
The pattern number in the display will blink while 
the rhythm pattern is switching. Once the change 
has occurred, the display will revert to indicating 
the sound number.

For details on each rhythm pattern, refer to 
“Rhythm Patterns” (See page 69).

note: 

You can adjust the volume of the rhythm pat-

tern. Refer to “Editing the settings” (See page 14).

note: 

You can't change the playback speed of the 

rhythm pattern.

Overdubbing your own performance onto a 
rhythm pattern

1.

Select a rhythm pattern, and play it back. See 
“Playing back a rhythm pattern.”

Select the sound that you want to overdub. See 
“Selecting sounds.”

3.

Press the   button to start recording (the indica-
tor will light up).

4.

Strike the pad or the object where the clip is 
attached; your performance will be recorded.

5.

Press the   button or the 

 button to stop 

recording.
If you press the 

 button, recording will end and 

playback will continue. If you press the 

 but-

ton, recording will end and playback will stop.

6.

You can repeat the above steps to overdub your 
performance as many times as you wish.

note: 

If you want to erase your recorded perfor-

mance and re-record, you can use the Undo/Redo 
function. Refer to “Undo and Redo” (See page 13).

note: 

If you press the   button from the stopped 

condition, playback and recording will start simulta-
neously.

The recorded performance will disappear when 
you select another rhythm pattern, switch to the 
Looper function, or turn off the power. Imme-
diately after the power is turned on, the original 
rhythm pattern 00 will be selected.

During playback and recording, the pad sensi-
tivity will automatically be lowered to prevent 
acoustic feedback.

7.

You can mute (or unmute) the sound of the 
rhythm pattern if desired. If you mute the rhythm 
pattern, you'll hear only the performance that you 
overdubbed.
Hold down the SHIFT button and press the FX 
button. Each time you do so, muting will turn on/
