Track Mixing
7. Press the Mix button (located beneath the LCD) while a pattern is

8. Now press the Controller Function Select button (located above the
controller knobs) twice so that Volume is selected.
9. The sixteen controller knobs now function as volume controls for MIDI
channels 01A-16A.
• While we’re on the subject of Tracks and Channels, it might be a good
time to mention that in all the factory patterns, a given track will control
the MIDI channel of the same number. That means Track 1 will play the
preset on channel 01A, track 2 will play channel 02A and so on up to 16.
Feel free to turn the knobs and remix the pattern. The LEDs next to the
knobs flash to indicate activity on that channel/track.
Change the Sound
10. Adjust your remix so that track (the bass) is the most prominent
instrument in the mix.
11. Press the Preset View button and select Track using the Track/Channel
buttons to the left of the LCD.
12. Now repeatedly press the Controller Function Select button until
“Quick Edit” is selected.
13. Now the knobs control the bass sound. You know what to do.
