Roland CDX-1 用户手册

You can create a song by consecutively playing pad samples. The CDX-1 is able to 
record 

; i.e., “which pad was pressed,” “in what order,” and “how 

long.” Data for pad operations that have been recorded in this way is called a 

.

The CDX-1 provides two ways of recording a sequence: Realtime recording and 

.

When creating a sequence by arranging samples that are recorded to the pads, the 
sounds comprising the sequence and the original samples do not effect each other 
directly. For example, if the sounds on the pad samples used as source material for 
a sequence are deleted, those sounds, once saved as a sequence, are not lost.

The CDX-1 has four tracks (A–D) for recording sequences. When you access the 
Sequence Play List screen, the arrangement of samples in a sequence track will be 
shown by the location and length of the boxes (rectangles). The vertical dotted lines 
in the screen indicate measure divisions.

The Sequence Play List screen will be displayed when you press [DISPLAY] to 
switch screens. It will also be displayed when you press PAD SEQUENCING [SEQ 
PLAY] to turn the sequence on.

The CDX-1 uses the measure (MEAS), beat (BEAT), and tick (TICK) * as the units of 
its basic system for measuring the current location in a sequence.

Thus, sequences on the CDX-1 are based on the concept of tempo, and in changing 
the tempos of sequences containing multiple phrases, the intervals between the 
beginning of one phrase and the beginning of the next are lengthened and shortened. 

The overall tempo a sequence is changed in the Rhythm Guide setting screen. If you 
want the tempo to change midway through the sequence, set the tempo map to 
specify the tempo.

For details on setting the tempo map, refer to “Setting the tempo and rhythm pattern 
of the song—Tempo Map” (p. 117).
