11. Session Management
Enter the Sessions View by simply pressing the ‘Sessions’ button. In Sessions View, the square 8x2 pads become
locations for saving and loading your Sessions.
The arrows to the left of the 8x2 pad area are used to change pages of Ses-sions View. There are four available
pages, each containing 16 Sessions laid se-quentially across the 16 pads. These four pages give you a total of 64
Sessions.
Sessions have names (to be created with Components), and you can change their col-our as well. Press the
Save button once, then use the fi rst two soft buttons below the screens to select a colour. Press Save again
to confi rm.
A. Load a Session
To load a session, fi rst enter Sessions View, then press a pad in the 8x2 pad ar-ea.

You can save your current Session at any time. Press the Save button once, and it will begin to fl ash. Press Save

left-most soft buttons below the screen to scroll through different session col-ours. Once you have found your pre-
