This section explains how to use the loop function and
hold function. You can also change the settings of other
functions. For details, see the separate “Tutorial”
manual.
You can use the loop function to play back the same
sample or phrase repeatedly.
1.
On the PAD screen, touch the number of the
pad whose setting you want to configure.
2.
Touch “Loop” to turn it on.
3.
Press and hold the pad whose setting you
changed.
This will repeatedly play the sampled sound or phrase.
• With the MZ-X500, you can also use the loop
function for chord progressions.
With the Hold Function, you can ensure that a long
sample or phrase is played back even if you release a
pad after pressing it.
1.
On the PAD screen, touch the number of the
pad whose setting you want to configure.
2.
Touch “Hold” to turn it on.
3.
Tap the pad whose setting you changed.
This will cause the pad to behave as if you have kept it
depressed.
• While a pad for which “Hold” has been turned on is
playing back, tapping the pad again will stop
playback.
• With the MZ-X500, you can also use the hold
function for chord progressions.
A bank whose pad functions have been changed can be
saved as a user bank.
1.
Touch “PAD BANK EDIT”.
This displays the PAD BANK EDIT screen.
2.
On the PAD BANK EDIT screen, touch
“Write”.
3.
After inputting the bank name, touch “Enter”.
4.
Touch the destination user bank.
If a user bank already contains data, there will be an
asterisk (*) next to the bank name.
5.
Touch “Execute”.
If the selected bank does not have any data stored to it,
the message “Sure?” will appear. If it does have data
stored to it, the message “Replace?” will appear.
6.
Touch “Yes”.
If the selected bank has data stored to it, existing data
will be overwritten with the new data.
You can use the operation below to stop pad playback
when you have multiple pads with the Hold Function
enabled playing back at the same time.
