Fully lit pads indicate pitches at which all notes are selected: Press any lit pad to remove all its
notes from the selection (the pad turns dim lit).
Selecting Events/Notes on the Controller
Using your controller you can select particular events from the selected Pattern. This will allow
you to edit them without affecting the other events.
Quick Selecting Events and Notes
The quickest and easiest way to select events is the following:
►
Press SHIFT + SELECT + any dimmed pad to select all events for that Sound (if pads are
in Pad Mode) or to select all notes at that pitch for the focused Sound (if pads are in Key-
board mode).
→
The selected pad lights up and all its events are selected. While holding SHIFT + SELECT
you can press other dimmed pads to add their events to your selection, or press any fully
lit pad to remove its events from the selection (the pad turns dimmed).
Unlit pad indicate Sounds (in Pad Mode) or pitches (in Keyboard mode) for which the Pattern
has no events. Hence, if you press them nothing happens.
For example in Pad Mode this can be very useful to quickly quantize a few drum instruments in
your kit without affecting the rest of the kit: Press SHIFT + SELECT + the pads of the desired
drums then press SHIFT + pad 5 ( QUANTIZE ), and you’re done!
Selecting Events and Notes via the Select Mode
In order to make more complex selections, your controller provides you with a useful tool: the
Select mode.
To select events in your Pattern:
1.
Hold SELECT to enter Select mode — or pin the Select mode via the usual shortcut (see
section
↑
3.3.1, Pinning a Mode on the Controller ).
2. Press F2 ( EVENTS ).
F2 lights up and EVENTS is highlighted in the display.
