Basic Operations
Edit Section
Arp/Beats Button
The Arpeggiator menu contains parameters that are related to Beats mode
and the Master Arpeggiator. Beats is a 16-track play-only sequencer that is
optimized for live performance and groove creation. An illuminated LED in
the button indicates that you are in the Arp/Beats menu. For more infor-
mation about the Arp/Beats menu, see page 43.
MIDI Button
The MIDI menu contains parameters that are MIDI related. An illuminated
LED in the button indicates that you are in the MIDI menu. For more infor-
mation about the MIDI menu, see page 93.
MIDI Panic Button
Pressing the MIDI and Home/Enter buttons simultaneously sends a MIDI
“All Notes Off” and “All Sound Off” for all 16 MIDI channels. This immedi-
ately kills all sounding notes internally and over MIDI.
Audition Button
When the Audition button is pressed, the LED next to the button will
illuminate and a short “Riff” (programmed as part of the preset) will play.
The Riff is latched on and plays continuously until the button is pressed
again. Presets can be changed while Audition is latched on.
See “Bank Select
Commands” on page 126 for more information on selecting banks via MIDI.
The top line of the Preset display changes to show the MIDI Bank Select
controller values needed to select the preset being auditioned. This handy
feature lets you know the exact Bank and Preset number.
Compare Button
The Compare button allows you to toggle between an edited version of a
preset and the original, unedited version. When a preset has been edited,
the Save/Copy LED flashes. Press the Compare button, lighting its LED, to
hear the unedited preset. Press the Compare button again to hear the edited
preset. If edits are made to the preset while listening to the compared
original version, compare mode is aborted and the compare LED goes off.
Save/Copy Button
The Save/Copy button is used to save changes to a preset, copy data
between presets, randomize presets and to move other types of data.
Selected groups of parameters, such as PatchCord settings, can be copied
between Presets and/or between Layers using this menu. The menu is
