Starting Beats mode
with the Start/Stop key allows
you to start the sequencer rolling
silently. Then you can bring Parts
in and out using the “Busy”
control.
• Start/Stop Trigger Starts the beat sequencer from the beginning of
the sequence. When latched, pressing once starts
and pressing again stops. When unlatched, the
sequence runs as long as the key is held.
Once the Beats sequencer is started, it continues to
run even if no triggers are active.
Start/Stop doesn’t clear latched parts when it stops
the sequencer. Any trigger played after stopping
will not only start the sequencer and play that trig-
ger's part, but also play all previously latched parts.
• Clear Parts Clears any enabled parts. This control provides a
quick and easy way to shut off all latched Parts.
Latch mode has no effect on this key.

If Mute is set to 1-bar,
the Part mutes for 1 bar then
un-mutes.
• Mute Mutes all Parts while held, but the Beats sequencer
continues running.
• Trig Hold When this key is held, all other Trigger Keys
behave as if they were in Latch mode.
