Pattern Playback
Each track has memory for 4 patterns of 32 steps maximum. There are 3 memory banks - read on to learn how to switch memory banks.
Track Cue
The CUE buttons are used to mute / un-mute the tracks during playback.
When a track is muted, its CUE LED is dark. But its patterns continue to count in the
background, preserving the position of the downbeat.
Use the CUE buttons to insert drop-outs, fills, or to add white space or silent sections to your
compositions.
While a track is muted, you can hold the Keys to make its patterns play momentarily.
Jump cut
Tap a Key while the sequencer is playing. It immediately switches to the newly selected
pattern.
In mode, the Keys switch between stored patterns, with options:
Cued transition
Hold LOOP while tapping a Key. The sequencer will play to the end of the currently
active pattern, then switch automatically at the end of the bar.
Sticky patterns
(Pattern layering)
Hold PLAY while tapping a Key. The LED above it ickers while it is Sticky.
You can toggle Sticky status On/Off for each Key.
Notes of Sticky patterns are sounded in the blank steps of the active pattern.
Sticky patterns remain selected even if you switch active patterns or use Pattern Chain.
Momentary play
Mute a track by pressing its CUE button so its CUE LED goes dark. Now you can tap
the Keys to play the patterns, but playback will only be heard while a Key is held down.
You can use the Tuners to transpose the pitch of a pattern at any time, even if the pattern is not actively playing.
All of the patterns are counting in the background, so you can jump cut between them without losing the position of the down beat.
Sticky patterns cancel
All Sticky patterns are cancelled when you press STOP.
To cancel them without stopping the transport, hold PLAY and tap STOP.
