Adjusting Volume
► Press the VOLUME button next to the Encoder.
→ The VOLUME button lights up. You can now adjust the volume for your overall Project, for
each Group, and for each Sound individually using the Encoder:
▪ To adjust the overall volume, turn the Encoder. Hold SHIFT to adjust the value in finer in-
crements.
▪ To adjust the volume of a particular Group, hold its Group button (A–H) and turn the En-
coder. Hold SHIFT to adjust the value in finer increments.
▪ To adjust the volume of an individual Sound, press and hold its pad and turn the Encoder.
Hold SHIFT to adjust the value in finer increments.
As you adjust the volume, the display indicates the current value.
It is recommended you try this while your Pattern is playing, you will immediately hear the effect of
your changes.
Adjusting Swing
Now adjust the overall swing of your Project. The Swing feature shifts some of the played
notes, hereby adding some “groove” to your Pattern. The procedure is similar to the one descri-
bed above for the volume:
► Press the SWING button next to the Encoder.
→ The SWING button lights up. You can now adjust the swing for your overall Project, for
each Group, and for each Sound individually using the Encoder:
▪ To adjust the overall swing, turn the Encoder. Hold SHIFT to adjust the value in finer incre-
ments.
