Panning
You can also position each track anywhere in the stereo image (but you’ll need to be monitoring both
left and right outputs or using headphones to hear any effect). Pressing the
J
button
15
converts the
Macro controls to pan controls for each track. The
J
button goes out and the
K
button illuminates.
The default pan position of every track is stereo-centre, indicated by the Macro LEDs showing white.
Panning a track left turns the LED increasingly bright blue; panning to the right turns it increasingly
bright pink.
To quickly return a panned track to the centre of the stereo image, hold down
Clear
17
and turn
the Macro control clockwise. The Macro LED will light purple to indicate that the action has been
completed.
The Pan controls are automated in the same way as the Level controls. To delete Pan automation,
hold
Clear
and turn the Macro control anticlockwise. The Macro LED will light red to indicate that the
action has been completed.
Pressing
K
will return the Macros to their level control function.
Performing with Muted Tracks
Muting can be used for more creative purposes than simply silencing a track; it lets you perform in
real time over the unmuted tracks. When a track is muted, its sequencer step pads become inactive.
However, they then become available to play samples in real time in
Velocity View
,
Gate View
or
Probability View
.
To experiment with this, select a Project and mute a track in
Mixer View
. Select
Velocity View
,
Gate
View
or
Probability View
for the muted track: the step pads will still show the sequence in progress,
but because the track is muted, no samples will be triggered by the sequencer. The step pads may
now be used to play the samples “manually” – in real time. This functionality becomes especially
powerful when used in conjunction with a pattern that contains macro automation, as each step will
play back with its saved automation, allowing you to build up a palette of sounds to perform with.
Note that while playback of steps in this way may be recorded to other patterns using View Lock,
automation data from the steps will not be recorded.
