2.2.4 Select Instruments (=tracks):
Press
(EDIT/TRIG)
(LED = on) and press an instrument key to select the track. The
instrument/track LED lights up, indicating the currently selected track.
Press
(EDIT/TRIG)
again (LED = off) and trigger the instrument with the key button.
2.2.5 Mute Instruments:
Click on the encoder knobs that correspond to the instrument (1=Kick, 2=MBrane,
3=CH aso.). If the LED blinks, the instrument is muted. Press again to unmute.
2.2.6 Edit Instrument:
Turn the desired encoder knob – the parameter of the currently selected instrument
gets changed. One row of 4 parameters is displayed. The rows switch automatically
when a knob is turned. Press the
(PAGE)
A/B button to reach the second set of
parameters (max 32 per instrument). When in parameter mode (KIT/SEQ = not kit
select), the right/left buttons switch between the rows of parameters and show the
actual parameters.
2.2.7 Store Kit Preset:
Press and click
(Knob 16)
to quick-store to RAM.
The RAM stores all presets and patterns temporarily. In order to keep the edited data
after next power cycle, you have to transfer the data to flash memory. This is made
with shift 1 (Store Preset). However, due to the internal structure, all digital instruments
must be muted during the programming cycle, although the sequencer keeps on
running. So, for transparent work-flow, use the quick-store function during work-in-
progress and do not forget to store to flash memory with shift 1 before turning off.
2.2.8 Store Pattern:
Press and click
(Knob 15)
to quick-store a pattern to RAM.
The same considerations as with Preset Store apply here (see above), just use Store
Pattern (shift 3) to transfer to flash memory.
2.2.9 Edit Tempo:
Press
(BPM/MIDI)
and change the tempo with the
(Data)
wheel.
