Notes & Tips
The following are a couple of hidden tricks you might find useful.
• Press and hold Play , then press Record while a pattern is playing to
jump right into Grid Record mode.
• Selecting the next pattern while playing does NOT change the tempo.
This allows you to perform live pattern changes in one tempo. For a pat-
tern to play its own tempo, either press stop 3 times (loading the initial
setup data), or select the pattern while stopped.
