Chapter 3. About the D-FIELD
What is the D-FIELD?
The D-FIELD is a controller that lets you produce various effects by touching the surface of the controller with your finger. The
effect can be controlled by the location of your touch, or by how you move your finger.
Broadly speaking, there are three ways to use the D-FIELD.
SOUND mode
By pressing on the eight areas of the D-FIELD, or by rubbing the surface of the D-FIELD up/down/left/right, you can play back
phrases or play sounds.

RPS (Realtime Phrase Sequence)

ADLIB (Ad-lib)
Play solos or arpeggios.
VINYL-FX (Vinyl effects)
Produce effects, such as backspin, which are perfect for DJ work.
ASSIGN 1
Control muting and play arpeggios.
XY mode
By rubbing the surface of the D-FIELD up/down/left/right, you can control two parameters simultaneously to modify the sound.

FILTER
Simultaneously control the cutoff frequency and resonance to modify the sound.
MFX (Multi-effects)
Control the effect parameters to modify the sound.
X-FADER (Crossfader)
Crossfade between two desired parts of the pattern.
ASSIGN 2
Control the pitch, timbre, or volume of the sound, or the rhythmic feel of the pattern.
SPIN mode
By moving your finger in a circle over the surface of the D-FIELD you can control how the pattern sounds in a manner similar to
when manually spinning a turntable.

VINYL
Just as on a turntable, you can make the pattern play forward, backward, or stop.
BPM
Control the BPM (tempo).
SD ROLL (Snare drum roll)
Control the speed of the snare roll.
ASSIGN 3
You can control things such as Step Mute and Pan (stereo location).
When touching the D-FIELD, you must use only one finger and touch only one location. If you touch two or more locations, the controller
will determine that you touched a point between those locations.
If you press too hard on the edge of the D-FIELD, the location of your finger may not be recognized properly.
Do not poke the surface of the D-FIELD with a sharp object. Doing so will cause malfunctions.
