NOTE REPEAT
+ Button 1.
▪
In Note Repeat mode all pads will be both velocity and pressure sensitive, allowing for ex-
pressive drum rolls or dynamic basslines.
▪
Note Repeat is a really funky way to play percussion and drums live creating build-ups
and breaks.
▪
Note Repeat is also interesting to use with tonal Sounds and you can access it from Key-
board mode to create synthesizer-like arpeggios.

Using the Keyboard Mode
Select a Sound by pressing the pad it is assigned to. Now enter Pad Mode mode by holding
PAD MODE
and lock it by pressing Button 1 (you can then release
PAD MODE
).
Press Button 2 to enter Keyboard mode. If you hit the pads now, you will hear that they all play
the same Sound, but each with a different pitch. The pitch scale is divided in semitones, start-
ing with pad
1
as the lowest pitch going up to pad
16
as the highest pitch. The current scale
is indicated on the right display:
Keyboard mode selected on the controller displays in Pad Mode mode.
To shift the scale in octaves use Button 7 (octave down) or Button 8 (octave up). You can also
shift the scale in semitones: use Button 5 (semitone down) and Button 6 (semitone up). Press
PLAY
then
RECORD
and start to record your melody!
Try to experiment with all kinds of Samples in the Keyboard mode; some rather boring
sounding Samples can be really interesting if you play them very low or very high!
