11. SYNTH TRACK PARAMETERS
Here follows a description of all of the parameters that are available on the synth tracks PARAMETER pag-
es. The parameters on the TRIG page are saved with the pattern, and not with the sound. You can lock the 
synth track parameters to other settings on any step of the pattern by first pressing and holding a [TRIG] 
key, then changing the parameters’ settings with the DATA ENTRY knobs. For more information, please see 
“10.10.1 PARAMETER LOCKS” on page 40.
11.1 EDITING THE SYNTH TRACK PARAMETERS
There are six PARAMETER page groups for the synth tracks. Press the [PARAMETER] keys to access the 
synth tracks PARAMETER pages. The SYN2, FLTR, AMP and LFO parameter groups has two pages To 
access page one, press the [PARAMETER] key once. To access page two, press the [PARAMETER] key 
twice. Use the DATA ENTRY knobs A-H to change the parameters. Press and hold a [PARAMETER] key to 
see the values for all parameters on that page.
You can also randomize the parameter settings on a specific PARAMETER page on a 
Synth track. Press [PARAMETER] key + [YES] to randomize all parameters on that page. 
Every time you press this key combination, the parameters randomize in a new way. Press 
[PARAMETER] key + [NO] to reset the PARAMETER page to its last saved state.
11.2 TRIG PARAMETERS PAGE
Here you find the parameters for the note trigs. Use the DATA ENTRY knobs to change the settings. The 
settings on the TRIG PARAMETERS page is not saved with the Sound. They are saved with the pattern.
Press [TRIG PARAMETERS] to access this parameter page. 
11.2.1 ROOT
Root sets the default note value that the note trigs placed in GRID RECORDING mode have. If you 
change the root note and have additional notes added on the same trig, then the additional notes are 
oset and transposed accordingly. For more information, please see “10.2.3 GRID RECORDING USING 
TRACK NOTE METHOD” on page 33. (C0–G10)
11.2.3 VEL
Trig Velocity controls the velocity of the notes the MIDI track sends out. A setting of 0 equals a NOTE 
OFF command. (1–127)
11.2.4 LEN
Trig Length sets the duration of the notes. When a note has finished playing a NOTE OFF command is 
sent. The INF setting equals infinite note length. (0.125–128, INF)
11.2.5 COND
Trig Condition is a set of conditional rules that can be applied to any trig, using a parameter lock. Each 
setting is a logical condition, which determines whether or not the sequencer note is triggered. For more 
information, please see “10.10.3 CONDITIONAL LOCKS” on page 41.
11.2.5 FLT.T 
Filter Trig controls if the filter envelope is trigged or not. (ON, OFF)
11.2.6 LFO.T
LFO Trig controls if the LFO is trigged or not. (ON, OFF)
11.2.7 PTIM
Portamento Time sets the time for the portamento (1–127)
