@ VOLUME Control
The VOLUME control adjusts the volume level of the
EMR-1's rhythms delivered via the rear-panel LINE OUT
jacks.
© Signals received via the rear-panel AUX IN jacks are not
affected by the VOLUME control.
@ Voice Selectors & Indicators
The EMR-1's 32 superb rhythm patterns are selected using
these 16 selector buttons. The LED indicators above and
to the left of the rhythm selectors indicate the currently
selected voice.
@) Rhythm Variator and Indicators
The SMALL and LARGE buttons make it possible to
vary the "size of the rhythm section" playing the currently
selected rhythm. The FAST and SLOW buttons allow
variation of the tempo of the selected rhythm (the rhythm
pattern also changes to provide the best sound with the
selected tempo). The LED indicators associated with the
SMALL and LARGE buttons show whether the small,
normal or large rhythm section is currently selected. These
indicators also show the status of many of the EMR-1's
other functions.
(4) Measure/ Tempo Display
This 3-digit LED display shows the number of measures
played during normal rhythm playback, the currently
selected tempo when the rhythm is stopped or when the
SLOW and FAST buttons are used to vary tempo, and
other important information in other EMR-1 modes.
(5) Beat Display
The four-segment LED beat display above the Measure/
Tempo Display shows the beats of each measure during
rhythm playback. The first beat of each measure is indi-
cated by the red LED segment to the left, while the
remaining beats are indicated by the green segments to
the right.
