User Manual

The Step mode on the controller displays: the first bar of an eight-bar Pattern.
The left display shows your entire Pattern, and the right display focuses on the portion of the
Pattern corresponding to the steps controlled by your pads. The details shown in the displays
depend on the current mode of your pads:
▪ If your pads are in Group mode:
◦ The left display shows events for all Sounds in the Group.
◦ The right display shows events for the focused Sound in one row at the top along with
their velocities underneath.
▪ If your pads are in Keyboard mode both displays show notes for the focused Sound across
the pitch scale. Depending on the pitches of the existing notes, turn Knob 7 to scroll pitch-
es in the right display (in the left display the vertical zoom factor is automatically adjusted
so that all notes appear in the display).
Recording a Sequence
1. Set the focus on the Sound you want to record by pushing the 4-D encoder up or down or
by holding SELECT and pressing the pad of the desired Sound (see section ↑2.3.7, Fo-
cusing on a Group or a Sound).
2. Press PLAY.
You will see the playback position in the form of a light chasing through the pads, starting
from pad 1, going up all four rows from left to right and ending at pad 16. At any time
you can enable/disable PLAY as you see fit (e.g., to check how your actions affect the Pat-
tern).
