Notes from the docs, various YouTube videos, and Roland training sessions.
- Hold Sel for the track to show level, pan, delay, reverb values
- Use C1-C4 to change values, freeing up knob assigns (Filter, Mod, FX knobs)
- C1 Level, C2 Pan, C3 Delay, C4 Reverb
- Hold Shift and turn any knob to see value without changing it
- Release shift at any angle to leave knob without have changed anything
- Func+Note turns on Arp
- Sh+Note
- Set Key, Scale to simplify pads
- Instead of keyboard you get next 16 notes from 1st in current octave
- Example of C major, C2-C3 on bottom row, C3-C4 on top row
- Pentatonic will be C2-F3 on bottom row, C3-F4 on top row
- Chord designer type 2 (adds in more than 1+5)
- Default is power chord, even if you choose 1-3-5
- Sh+Note Key is used with type 2
- ex: 1-3-5 in C major will play major triad when you press C
- but minor triad for E, and I suspect 1-3-5-7 will use a flat 7
- Set Key, Scale to simplify pads
- Press Clip to see DAW like Clip view on pads
- Avoids scrolling on LCD and can select multiple clips at once
- Step buttons are clip row
- Top pad row is current clip row, each pad is a track
- Bottom pad row is clip row below current clip row
- Press Mute to access Cue mode
- Depending on settings can isolate track to headphones to edit in real time
- Can also use to mute groups of tracks
- Mute+SEL to mute track, like if you've isolate drums/bass and you are in the break
- Mute+Pad to mute specific pad during play, like kick drum
- Scatter MFX can be quick access to 2x parallel MFX
- This could give Pocket Operator style live FX
- Note+Step adds substeps for drums up to flam
- Chord+drum pad are triplets (and do not quantatize)
- Samples can't auto-slice after import, choose edit
- In auto-slice click C1 to merge slices
- Drum No-Sus only plays as long as held, can use Tie
- Also possible to edit Instrument AENV Time 3 (Sus), 4 (Release) to 1024 for Levels and times
- Sidechain option
- Sound design add a Saw Up LFO synced to 1/4 controlling Amp (Vol)
