11.5. Using Lock Snapshots
Lock allows you to create up to sixty-four snapshots spread across four banks of sixteen pads
providing a total of up to sixty-four snapshots. Each snapshot contains every modulatable
parameter in your Project, including your Solo and Mute settings. Once created, you can use
Extended Lock to switch between these instantly, or morph between them synchronized to the
tempo of your Project. Lock snapshots are a powerful tool for extensive modulations, but also very
useful to compare mixes or to switch up snapshots during a live performance.
The Lock button is used to create and recall a single snapshot, and when used in addition to
Extended Lock, snapshots can be managed; allowing you to update them, clear unwanted
snapshots, and organize them exactly the way you want.
11.5.1. Creating a Lock Snapshot
Use the Lock button to capture, update, or recall a single Lock snapshot.
To create a Lock snapshot:
1. Press the CHANNEL or PLUG-IN button.
2. Press LOCK to take a snapshot.
→ The LOCK button is highlighted to indicate a single snapshot has been taken. You are now
free to change parameters or Mute and Solo settings, safe in the knowledge you can recall
your snapshot.
3. Press LOCK to recall the snapshot.
→ The Lock snapshot is recalled and the LOCK button ceases to be highlighted. You can access
your snapshot in Extended Lock mode. For more information on Extended Lock, see Using
Extended Lock . If you find better settings press the LOCK button again to update the
snapshot.
▶ Press SHIFT + FILE ( Save ) to save your Project.
11.5.2. Using Extended Lock
Extended Lock presents an overview of all your Lock snapshots. Here you can recall, update, or
clear your snapshots. You can also set options for morphing between snapshots.
To enter Lock view:
▶ Press SHIFT + LOCK ( Ext Lock ).
