5.5 EXPERIMENTING WITH SCENES
Scenes contain locked parameters. The crossfader is used to morph between the locked
scene parameters.
1. Select any demo pattern. Set the crossfader to its rightmost position. This will fully
activate the scene assigned to scene slot B.
2. Hold
[SCENE B]
and press a
[TRIG]
key to assign a new scene to the scene slot.
The already assigned scene is indicated by a red
[TRIG]
key. Experiment with as-
signing different scenes to the scene slot and listen to how the sound of the pattern
changes.
5.6 RECORDING A PATTERN USING GRID RECORDING
Use GRID RECORDING mode to input sample trigs to the sequencer. Sample trigs trig the
machines and samples of the tracks.
1. Press the
[RECORD]
key to enter GRID RECORDING mode. The
[RECORD]
key will
light up, indicating the mode is now active.
2. Press the
[TRACK]
key of the track you want to add sample trigs to.
3. Press a
[TRIG]
key to enter a sample trig. Press the same
[TRIG]
key again to
remove the sample trig. If the pattern contains more than 16 steps, use the
[PAGE]
key to switch between the pattern pages.
4. To edit other tracks, change the active track by pressing the other
[TRACK]
keys.
5.7 RECORDING A PATTERN USING LIVE RECORDING
The LIVE RECORDING mode allows you to record sample trigs and parameter changes
while the sequencer is running.
1. To enter this mode, hold
[RECORD]
and then press
[PLAY]
. The
[RECORD]
key
starts to blink, indicating that LIVE RECORDING mode is activated, and the
sequencer starts to play.
2. You can now record sample trigs manually by pressing the
[TRIG 9–16]
keys.
