3.

Choose to active a track using the [TRACK] keys. Below is a screen shot of how the
SYNTHESIS page could look like after selecting a track.

Press a [TRIG] key to add a note trig. A note trig is indicated by a red LED.
Pressing the same [TRIG] key once more removes the note trig.

5.

To change the pitch of a note, press and hold the [TRIG] key. You will see a mini key-
board pop up in the lower left corner of the screen. Either input the new note on the key-
board or use the [ARROW] keys to select the new note. When done release the [TRIG]
key.

To enter a note off trig, press a [TRIG] key while holding the [FUNCTION] key. A Note
Off is indicated by a yellow LED. To remove a note off the same [TRIG] key
must be pressed twice.

OVERVIEW OF LIVE RECORDING MODE
The LIVE RECORDING mode allows you to record notes in real-time while the pattern is
playing.

To enter this mode, press and hold [RECORD] and then [PLAY].You can now play notes
on the track you want to record, using either the [TRIG] or a keyboard. All played notes will
be quantised to the closest trig step.

If a note is played on a position where there already was a note programmed the new note
will replace the note on that step.

To erase notes in LIVE RECORDING mode hold [EXIT/NO] while the notes you want to
remove are heard.

The pattern will loop and be ready for further recording until you press the [STOP] key.

PARAMETER LOCKS
A parameter lock is a parameter locked to a certain value for a specific step. Parameter
locks can be programmed in GRID RECORDING mode and recorded in LIVE RECORD-
ING mode. Parameter locks are a very important part of creating unique and dynamic pat-
terns.

To lock parameters on a specific step in the track in GRID RECORDING mode, hold a
[TRIG] key and turn or click a DATA ENTRY knob. The parameter connected to the knob
will be inverted to indicate that it now is has a parameter lock. The corresponding
LED will flash rapidly to indicate that a parameter is locked for that step.
