6. The Realtime Controller Knobs Basic Operation One of the features that makes the RM1x a great performance tool is its realtime controller knobs. The knobs allow the corresponding parameters to be controlled in real time during pattern or song playback, so, for example, you can sweep filter cutoff frequency, bend pitch, add or modify effects, or control just about any available parameter during playback simply by turning the appropriate knob. A complement of 8 controller knobs means you have instant access to multiple parameters, and you can control more than one parameter at the same time. The parameters listed on the panel below the knobs are the default pre-assigned parameters, but other parameters can be assigned as required via the SETUP submode Knob Assign function (page 74). The knobs can be switched to control one of two different parameter groups - "A" and "B" - via the [KNOB] button. The "A" parameter group (the upper default parameters listed on the panel) are selected when the [KNOB] indicator is lit, and the "B" group (the lower parameters) is selected when the [KNOB] indicator is out. Different parameters can be assigned to both the "A" and "B" groups via the KNOB ASSIGN function mentioned above. The default "A" and "B" group parameters are listed below. 1 BEAT STRETCH 2 CLOCK SHIFT 3 GATE TIME 4 VELOCITY 5 CUTOFF 6 RESONANCE 7 EG DECAY 8 PITCH BEND MIDI DELAY OCTAVER HARMONIZE 1 HARMONIZE 2 VARIATION CHORUS REVERB TRACK VOLUME n • This procedure does the same thing as the Undo/Redo job in the Pattern job (page 82), Pattern chain job (page 113), and Song job (page 124). 8. Used Memory display Here's how to check the amount of currently used memory, so that you can see about how much more recording can be done. Press the F1 button while holding the [SHIFT] button. The "Used Memory" will appear as long as you continue holding these buttons. 9. System Initialization If you wish to reset the RM1x's settings to the factory condition, you can perform the Initialization operation. 1 While holding down the [OCT DOWN] and [OCT UP] buttons and the F#/Gb key [ALL] located at their right, turn on the STANDBY/ON switch. 7. Undo/Redo Undo is a function that cancels the last-executed recording, edit, or job operation, and restores the data to its previous condition. Redo is a function that cancels the Undo operation, and re-executes the operation. These jobs are very convenient when important data has been damaged because of recording, editing, or a job. These jobs can be used for recording, editing, and job (except Name) operations in the Pattern mode, Pattern chain mode, and the Song mode, and for Patch operations in the Pattern mode. 2 When "RM1x" appears in the display, release the keys. 3 When initialization has been performed, "Factory Set" appears briefly in the display. To execute the Undo operation, press the [JOB] button while holding the [SHIFT] button. To execute the Redo operation, press the [JOB] button while holding the [SHIFT] button again. After a recording, editing, or job operation has been performed, it will always be possible to execute Undo. Likewise, it will always be possible to execute Redo after Undo has been executed, and Undo and Redo will alternate. CAUTION! When initialization is performed, all internal memory will be erased. If you wish to keep any of your data, you must save it to floppy disk before initializing. RM1x SEQUENCE REMIXER 29
