10. KITS AND SOUNDS

LOCKS shows the number of parameter locks assigned to the scene. This changes by adding or

removing parameter locks (see below).

<CLEAR> clears all parameter locks assigned to the scene being edited. Press [YES] when this option

is highlighted to clear the scene.

<CLEAR ALL> clears all parameter locks on all the 12 scenes. Press [YES] when this option is high-

lighted to clear all scenes.

While keeping the scene pad pressed, various parameters can be locked to the scene by turning the

DATA ENTRY knobs. Any parameter, from any of the 13 tracks, can be modulated and locked to the

scene. Choose the drum tracks from which the parameter locks will be assigned by pressing [TRK] +

[PADS]. If parameters from the FX track are to be locked to the scene, press the [FX] key. The parame-

ters available for modulation and scene assignation are visible on the screen.

When a scene is edited, the pads of drum tracks containing parameter locks glows half-bright red and

ﬂicker. The active track, from which parameter locks are currently set, glows full-bright red. If a scene

contains FX track parameter locks, the [FX] key ﬂickers while editing the scene. When the scene pad is

pressed during edit, parameter locks are shown with inverted graphics and their ﬁxed values (provided

the particular track, and the particular parameter page where the locked parameter is located, is active)

are also shown.

A total of 48 dierent parameters may be locked to any of the 12 scenes, in any combination, for each

kit. For example, 48 parameter locks may be used for a single scene, two scenes may use 24 parameter

locks each, four scenes may use, say, 2, 4, 10 and 32 parameter locks, and so on.

The scene of each pad can be copied, pasted to another pad or cleared using [FUNC] + [RECORD]/

[STOP]/[PLAY], respectively. SCENE settings are stored to the active kit. Remember to save the kit

regularly with [YES] + [PLAY MODE].

Once the editing is done, simply press the [SCNE] key again to exit scene edit mode. The parameter

locks you entered will be instantly enabled whenever the scene is activated.

10.4 PERFORMANCE MODE

Enter PERFORMANCE mode by pressing the [PERF] key. The PERFORMANCE mode enables you to

tweak one or several parameters, chosen from any track, by applying dierent amounts of pressure to any

of the [PADS] containing a performance macro. 12 performances may be assigned, one for each of the

[PADS].

• By gently increasing the amount of pressure applied to a pad containing a performance

macro (or quickly pressing, and then gently releasing the applied pressure), all intermedi-

ate values of the parameter lock range can be heard while going from one extreme of the

modulation depth to the other.

• Press [FUNC] + [QPER] to mute the PERFORMANCE mode. This temporarily mutes all the

changes that have been made to the track parameters by the performance macros. Press

[FUNC] + [QPER] again to unmute the PERFORMANCE mode to let the changes aect

the parameters again. The [QPER] key is green when PERFORMANCE mode is active and

turned o then PERFORMANCE mode is muted.

• As the name implies, the PERFORMANCE mode is a live performance feature. As is the

SCENE mode. When recording on the sequencer, PERFORMANCE mode macros and

SCENES are not possible to parameter lock.

10.4.1 PERFORMANCE EDIT

Make sure PERFORMANCE mode is active. Press and hold the [PERF] key for a short while to enter edit

mode.

There are 12 assignable performance macros available, one for each pad. Select which macro to edit

by pressing one of the [PADS]. When performance edit is active, the bottom of the screen reveals a list

showing, from left to right, the performance macro number, the number of locked parameters, an option

to clear the macro and an option to clear all macros. Use the [ARROW] keys [LEFT] and [RIGHT] to

navigate through this list.
