Pad Motion

Pad Motion allows you to record and playback
the motion of your finger on the touch pad.
This allows you to accurately reproduce the
same complicated movements repeatedly. In
addition, the pad LEDs will provide a visual in-
dication of the movement.
You can even save pad motion recording as
part of the Program Memory. (p.12)
Recording a pad motion
Hold down the PAD MOTION button. As soon
as your finger hits the touch pad, the PAD MO-
TION button will begin blinking, indicating that
the pad motion is being recorded. To stop re-
cording, release the PAD MOTION button, and
pad motion playback will begin. Pad motion is
only recorded for a few seconds, so if the Pad
Motion button stops blinking and is lit up red,
pad motion recording has stopped, and pad
motion playback will begin immediately.
To stop the pad motion playback, touch the
PAD MOTION button once again. the button
will go dark (unlit).
TIP When you begin recording, the previously-re-
corded motion will be overwritten.
Playing back a pad motion
Press the PAD MOTION button; the button will
light up, and the pad motion will begin playing
as a loop.
The pad LEDs will show the recorded move-
ment. When you press the PAD MOTION but-
ton once again, the button will go dark and
10
playback will stop.
Reverse playback
If you hold down the SHIFT button and press
the PAD MOTION (REVERSE) button, the
pad motion will play back in reverse. You can
repeat this operation to alternate between
"reverse playback" › "forward playback" › "re-
verse playback."
Saving a pad motion
To save the pad motion you've just recorded,
write (or re-write) the current program into Pro-
gram Memory (p.12)

Specifying the BPM

What is BPM?
BPM (Beats Per Minute) is the tempo of the
song expressed as the number of beats (quar-
ter notes) that occur in one minute. A higher
BPM value means a faster tempo.
Viewing the BPM
When you turn on the KP3+, the BPM will be
set to 120.0.
If the display shows the current program,
press the PROGRAM/BPM knob to switch to
the BPM display.
TIP: If the clock is set to external synchronization,
"Ext" will be shown in the display, and you won't be
able to specify the BPM value.
Manually setting the BPM
1. If the display shows the current program,
press the PROGRAM/BPM knob to switch to
the BPM display.
2. Use the PROGRAM/BPM knob to adjust
the BPM value in steps of 0.1. By turning the
PROGRAM/BPM knob while holding down the
SHIFT button, you can adjust the integer por-
tion of the value in steps of 1.
TIP The Auto BPM is automatically turned off.
