• The rotary controllers [6] are always mapped directly to the eight rotary controls
displayed on-screen for each patch.
• Sliders 1 to 8 (49- and 61-note versions) [4] control the primary Amplitude (sliders 1 to
4) and Modulation (sliders 5 to 8) Envelope ADSR parameters. These assignments are
the same for all patches.
• The Master Slider always controls the overall synth volume.
• Three of the Transport control buttons [7] operate the synth arp functions: Play (
H
)
starts the arp sequence, Stop (
A
) stops the arp sequence, and Loop ( ) acts as an
Arp Latch control, and causes the sequence to run continuously.
• The
C
and
D
buttons (also marked
K
and
J
) can be used to select the next or
previous patch.
• The upper bank of eight launch pads [8] permit storage and recall of your favourite
patches. To store a patch as a favourite, hold down the upper round Launch Pad button
[9] and press one of the eight pads. To recall a favourite patch, simply press a pad.
Note that storage of favourite patches is retained within the app; each favourite always
links to an existing patch, thus any alterations made to the parameters of a patch such
as knob positions will be lost when a new patch or favourite is selected.
• The lower bank of eight launch pads duplicate the on-screen performance Nodes.
Pressing a pad is equivalent to touching one of the Nodes.

they illuminate will depend on the current Launchpad app session. Note that when the app is
first loaded, the hardware pads are mapped to the top two rows of the app, and this is confirmed
by the two “LEDs” at the left-hand end of the on-screen rows. Use the
K
and
J
buttons in the
