Chapter 8 Pattern Playback • Adding and subtracting beats Did you notice that you can add sounds, too? This is especially effective in the Rhythm tracks. If the selected Rhythm track has some unlit buttons - meaning there are spaces in the track - try pressing some of those buttons to add more drum/percussion hits to the track. Or try taking some of the lit buttons' sounds out, and hear what kind of rhythm you come up with. • Save your edits If you like the new Pattern you've created, store it. (See page 79.) All Step Mute settings are saved along with the stored Pattern; yet the original data is not changed. Step Mute Allows you to mute and unmute specific steps in a Pattern during playback. Select and start a Pattern, then select the track you wish to control: Synth or Rhythm 1, 2, or 3. Then, press the desired buttons to mute/ unmute the steps. 30 Mixer controls - Pan and Volume Try these bread-and-butter controls out, and change the mix of the Patterns. Pan and Volume only affect the Synth track - the Rhythm tracks remain unchanged. 1 Select a Pattern and start it. 2 Let's try changing the Pan position first. Hold down the [SHIFT] button, and turn the [PARAM] (PAN) knob. Notice how the Synth track sound moves from left to right and back again as you turn the knob? (We assume you're listening to this with stereo headphones or on a stereo speaker system...) Pan Determines the position of the Synth track sound in the stereo image. Hold down [SHIFT], and turn the [PARAM] (PAN) knob to adjust. Range L63 (full left) - Cntr (center) - r63 (full right) 3 Now, work with the Volume. Hold down the [SHIFT] button, and turn the [WET] (VOL) knob. Hear how the Synth sound fades in and out as you tweak the knob? Remember, this only affects the Synth track - unlike the master [VOLUME] knob, which controls the overall sound of the DX200. Volume Determines the volume of the Synth track. Hold down [SHIFT], and turn the [WET] (VOL) knob to adjust. Range 0 - 127 39
