The behavior for the 2 buttons can be set to either ‘toggle’ or ‘latch’, by default it is set to ‘toggle’. To change the current setting, press
[Shift]+[Key Repeat] or [Shift]+[Pad Repeat]. The setting can also be changed in one of the Repeat settings pages.

Setup
E5
E6
E7
E8
Repeat Rate
Swing
Accent Interval
Setup Select
Tempo:
Sets the tempo between 30 and 240 BPM if the clock source is set to ‘Internal’. If clock source is set to ‘MIDI Clock’ , current tempo
will be displayed but the E1 encoder doesn’t control it.
Repeat Rate:
Choose the rate notes are repeated at. Options are 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, 1/12, 1/16, 1/24, 1/32, 1/48, 1/64, 1/80, 1/96.
Gate:
Sets the length of the repeated note in a range from 1% to 100%. 100% equals the repeat rate.
Swing:
By default the swing value is 50% which means that swing is essentially off. Changing to value < 50% will move every second note
closer to the preceding note and setting the value > 50% will move it further away to the preceding note. Remember to set the value back
to 50% when you want it off.
Accent Velocity:
Sets the velocity accent value offset -/+ 50 which means that an accent will play up to 50 velocity values higher than the
originally played velocity value or 50 values below.
Accent Interval:
Sets the interval at which an accent should be played (from 2 to 16). Setting the interval to 2 means every second note
will be played with the accent offset value and a setting of 9 means every 9th note will be played with the accent offset value, etc.
Setup:
Moving the Setup encoder goes through a selection of menus for each of which a value can be set in Setup Select.
