BANKS, PARTS AND SCENES

61

All patterns of a bank default to using part 1. If you for example want the machines of pat-
terns A01 and A02 to use different samples or have different settings, it is important these
patterns are linked to different parts.

PART QUICK SELECT

To link a part to the active pattern, press [FUNCTION] + [MIDI]. The PART QUICK
SELECT menu will appear.

The part currently linked to the pattern is shown with inverted graphics. If a part has been
altered but not saved it will be marked with an asterisk. Select the part that should be linked
to the active pattern by pressing the appropriate [ARROW] keys. Press [ENTER/YES] to
link it. It is possible to quick-link a part by keeping [FUNCTION] pressed when selecting the
part.

PARTS EDIT

Use the [ARROW] keys to select the part that should be edited and then press [FUNC-
TION]
+ [BANK] to open the PARTS EDIT pop-up menu.

RENAME makes it possible to give each part a unique name. After selecting this option
and pressing [ENTER/YES] a naming window will appear.

RELOAD makes a part revert to its saved settings. If performing this command and the
part previously hasn’t been saved a prompt will appear asking to do so.

SAVE saves the part. It is necessary to save a part to be able to perform the part reload
command.

SAVE ALL saves all changes made to all parts.

Copy/paste/clear commands are available in the EDIT PARTS menu.

PART RELOAD

If the parameters of a part have been adjusted and you want to revert them to their saved
state, press [FUNCTION] + [CUE]. This command can only be applied to parts that have
been saved. Should an unsaved part be active when pressing the button combination a
prompt stating “SAVE PART FIRST” will appear.
