Chapter 1 Pattern Basics Start your synthesizer apprenticeship right here. In this section, you’ll learn about playing Patterns, and how to use some of the DX200’s powerful tools to change the sound as it’s playing. 1 Playing a Pattern Here’s where all the fun starts — with the pre-programmed Patterns. Just press the Start/Stop button, and listen to the Pattern play. The Pattern repeats (loops) until you press the button again to stop it. What exactly are Patterns? The Patterns are the ba

Chapter 1 Pattern Basics 3 Switching Patterns on the fly Try mixing it up now. The DX200 lets you change Patterns as easily as pressing a button...

Start the Pattern. While the Pattern is playing, press one of the keyboard buttons (except 1, 4, and 8). Avoid these keys — they won’t change the Pattern. Notice h

Chapter 1 Pattern Basics 4 Playing it backwards The Reverse function lets you completely turn the Pattern around, and play all the notes backwards. Before you start the Pattern (or during playback, if you want), simply press the [REVERSE] button. 5 Changing the bpm Now, that you’ve got a Pattern playing, try changing its speed. (This is also called “bpm” — beats per minute.) The DX200 gives you two ways to do this — tapping out the speed manually, or using the [DATA] knob to adjust it. 1

But let’s see how you can use it now to change the feel of a Pattern while it’s actually playing... 1 Select a Pattern and start it by pressing the Start/Stop butt
