4.2.11.3. The Hold Button
The Hold button has an important function when an arpeggio is playing. When Hold is active
you can lift your fingers from the keyboard and the arpeggio will continue to play. Hold also
enables you to add more notes (up to 16) to an arpeggio while it is running.
4.2.11.4. The Trans (Transpose) Button
The Transpose function lets you shift up or shift down the pitch of running sequences/
patterns and arpeggios. To transpose, hold down the Trans button and play a note on the
keyboard. Notes below middle C will cause a downward transposition; notes above middle
C will cause an upward transposition.
4.2.11.5. The Tie/Rest/Chord Button
When creating a sequence, this button is used to enter rests or to tie two notes together.
However, when in Step Edit mode, if you press Tie/Rest the current step will be cleared. If
the sequencer is running in Step Edit mode, holding down Tie/Rest is a quick way to clear
the contents of a series of steps.
If you need to shorten a Tie, activate Step Edit mode, select the step where the Tie starts and
reduce the gate length of the step using the gate knob.
