3. Press MAIN SCREEN to return to the Play/Record screen.
4. Play the selected pad while moving the Note Variation slider.

Each time the pad is played, the selected parameter (tuning,
attack, decay or filter) will change according to the slider posi-
tion.

Here is additional information about the four fields:

• The 

Note

 field:

This field contains the note number to which the slider is assigned
(35-98). To change the assignment, press a pad. The note number to
which the pad is assigned will instantly appear in the 

Note

 field,

along with the pad number of the pad you pressed and the name of
the sound currently assigned to the note number. Alternately, you
can enter the desired note number by direct cursor editing.

• The 

Param

 (parameter) field:

This field determines which of the four possible parameters the
slider will control. The four choices are:

1. TUNING:

If selected, the slider alters tuning. This data is added to
the tuning settings used in the program and sound.

2. DECAY:

If selected, the slider alters envelope decay time. This
data overrides the program’s envelope decay setting.

3. ATTACK:

If selected, the slider alters envelope attack time. This
data overrides the program’s envelope attack setting.

4. FILTER:

If selected, the slider alters filter frequency. This data is
added to the program’s filter frequency setting.

• The 

Low range

 and 

High range

 fields:

These two fields control the range of the slider. The 

Low range

field determines the parameter value that will be produced when
the pad is hit while the slider is at the bottom of its travel; the

High range

 field determines the parameter value that will be

produced when the pad is hit while the slider is at the top of its
travel. Any position in between produces a proportionate value
between these two values. The type of data shown in these fields is
determined by the parameter selected in the 

Param

 field. If

TUNING

 is selected, these fields contain a signed tuning number

(e.g., 

-120

 to 

+120

); if 

ATTACK

 or 

DECAY

 is selected, they contain

a millisecond value (0-5000); if 

FILTER

 is selected, these fields

contain a number representing the range of filter frequencies
(-50~50).
