PATTERN MODE 4. Play FX 4. Play FX The PLAY FX submode lets you adjust a number of pattern playback parameters to change the sound and feel of the pattern without affecting the actual sequence data. The PLAY FX settings affect both pattern and arpeggio playback. In addition to timing and articulation parameters such as beat stretch, clock shift, gate time, and velocity offset, the PLAY FX submode includes a Harmonize feature which allows unison harmony, octave harmony, and the addition of parallel harmony for even further sonic flexibility. Each style stores its own PLAY FX settings. When you change to a different style, the new style's settings automatically become effective. Note that the PLAY FX settings apply to all 16 sections within the style. You can continue to replay the selected pattern while working in the PLAY FX submode. The Sequencer buttons (p, s, t, r/f) continue to operate. This means that you can monitor the results of your changes as you make them. t Harmonize The Harmonize feature adds considerable flexibility to the RM1x play effects by allowing unison harmonization to create deliberate out-of-phase effects, octave harmony, and the addition of 2 parallel harmony lines. The Harmonize settings will be individually retained in memory for each user style, but when applied to a preset style the Harmonize settings will be lost as soon as a different style is selected.
