User Manual

This is also true when adjusting the parameter from your controller.
To assign the selected pad(s) / Sound slot(s) to a Choke group and set its/their Choke mode on
your controller:
1. Hold the PAD MODE button to enter Pad Mode.
2. If necessary, press the Page Left button to switch to the first Parameter page of the Pad
Mode.
3. Turn Knob 1 (CHOKE GROUP) to select the desired Choke group 1–8 for that pad or
choose NONE (default setting) to remove the pad from its current Choke group.
4. Turn Knob 2 (CHOKE MODE) to select the Choke mode from MASTER (default setting) or
SLAVE for that pad.
5. Release PAD MODE (or press it again if you pinned the mode).
5.1.5 Using Link Groups
When your pads are in Group mode, Link groups allow you to link pads with each other: this
can be used to trigger multiple Sounds when pressing only one pad. Each pad of a Group can
be assigned to one of eight Link groups. A pad may be set as a Master or Slave in the Link
group:
▪ If the pad is set to Master (default setting) it will trigger other pads in the same Link group.
▪ If the pad is set to Slave it will only trigger its own Sound, even if it is part of a Link group
— but be triggered by pads set to Master within the same group.
You may set more than one pad as Master or Slave within the same group.
Link groups affect not only the notes you play on the pads and the notes triggered by the
Patterns, but also the MIDI notes controlling your Sounds.
Link groups are a “live” feature: They only affect the note triggers. In Record mode,
Link groups don’t affect the notes recorded in your Patterns — in other terms notes
won’t be recorded for the linked pads! Notably, this allow you to modify your Link group
assignments after recording. If you want to copy the notes from a Sound to another
Sound in Patterns, please refer to section ↑10.4, Editing Events.
