RIBBON CONTROLLER 3 Select a Part and start the pattern/song. Do this in the same way as with the knobs: 1) Make sure Part Control is on. (Press the PART CONTROL button, if necessary.) 2) Select a Part (with the PART SELECT keys at the lower end of the keyboard). 3) Turn Part Control off (to free up more of the keyboard). 4) Start the pattern/song. (Press the START/STOP button.) 4 Use the RIBBON CONTROLLER to change the sound. Touch the RIBBON CONTROLLER with one of your fingers, and move it along the ribbon to change the sound of the selected Part. "0" or minimum Maximum The leftmost position on the ribbon corresponds to "0" or minimum, and the rightmost to maximum. (For more information, see the boxed section below.) • Want to use another one of these parameters at the same time? Remember that the same parameters are also available on the ASSIGN knob. Simply assign the desired parameter to the ASSIGN knob. (See page 63.) • Want to quickly switch among different RIBBON CONTROLLER parameters? Use the Performance Setup function to save the RIBBON CONTROLLER assignment to one of the PERFORMANCE SETUP buttons for instant recall. Keep in mind that other important settings can also be saved. (See page 56.) How the RIBBON CONTROLLER works The RIBBON CONTROLLER starts affecting the sound the moment you touch it, and instantly changes the sound according to where you put your finger on the ribbon. It also automatically overrides the setting of the knobs. When you take your finger from the ribbon, the selected parameter instantly snaps back to the default setting. How the RIBBON CONTROLLER works and how it relates to the knobs can best be explained by example: Let's say that you've set the RIBBON CONTROLLER to affect Cutoff. Next, you turn the CUTOFF knob to about the 3:00 or 4:00 position, making the sound brighter. Leaving the knob at that position maintains that bright sound. Now, you touch the RIBBON CONTROLLER, and the sound instantly changes according to where your finger is on the ribbon - overriding the effect of the knob. 01Cutoff VOICE STYLE Keeping your finger on the ribbon and moving it back and forth changes the sound continuously. When you release your finger from the ribbon, the sound instantly reverts back to what it was when the CUTOFF knob was set to 12:00 (center). 68
