Advance Triggers-allow you to advance the melody of the currently playing song to the next “section” of
the song. For example, let’s say you’re playing a classical piece and you’re in a slow-going, low energy “tear-
jerker” section. If you’d like to advance to the next section of the song, a high-energy full-on brass and
percussion festival section, you can trigger an Advance beam.
Swap and Hold
Swap and hold is cool feature that lets you “stick” a particular beam in a continuous trigger mode without
needing to keep the beam broken. To hold a particular beam, break and hold the beam while simultaneously
pressing the Swap button on the Beamz controller’s base. The beam will continue to trigger (and will remain
a steady green) until you switch back to it using the Swap button and break the beam again. Swap and hold
enables you to add to the existing rhythm accompaniment, or even create your own accompaniment. In
order to use Swap and Hold, it must be enabled on the Beamz Options screen.
note: if the same instrument is also assigned to a dierent beam in the second bank, you can break the beam
in that bank to stop the triggering.
note: If you press the large right Beamz controller button to stop the rhythm accompaniment, the held beams
will continue to play until you break them again.
