Roll on the E2 / ES2

I use the roll feature, as well as the arp touch pad, for on the fly snare fills quite a bit on my ESX. Is there any way to do this on the new ES2?
You can't really use the gate arp for this on the ES2 because its easy to trigger it off beat. The ESX was always on beat, no matter when your finger hit the touch pad.

I do this using 1/32 delay as IFX for the track where I need a roll. Then I record on/of IFX on that track as motion. Works pretty good. If korg could give us option to use the IFX on/off as momentary ... you could do a lot of COOOLER IFX effects...

maybe im not understanding you right, but isn't recording a motion sequence of hitting the IFX on/off momentary?

Momentary perhaps, but not spontaneous or adaptive.

It's a latched event. Momentary would be a nice thing to add using maybe the shift button as a combo.

I think The IFX on/off button works as a toggle now;... Click to engage, click again to disengage ... So the function I propose would engage the effect only when the IFX button is held down, as soon as u release the button the IFX would be disengaged , sorry if I was not clear
Also I would prefer if this is not a shift function, I need the second hand to do something else.
Since I'm on the subject I rather have the same function for the mute mode, so I could rhythmically mute certain parts. This could be engaged by double clicking the mute button for example. The engaged tracks pads would be lid, holding any of the pads down would reverse the mute state. Can u imagine what this could do in live performance ...unmute or mute IFXs or tracks with just holding the pad down....
Again part of the gang here that use this machine in "non-live" mode meaning prepare everything up front and then just hit the play button when performing wouldn't care much to have this function.
Disclaimer: there is nothing wrong with the non-live-mode guys
