I will show you some examples of using Echo and Version Echo simultaneously.  
Use Pad5 and Pad6 in this Example.
If you press the Pads in the following way, it would be effective.   

Example 8

Press and hold Pad6 for 1 bar from the beginning a bar.
Press and hold Pad5 at the position 2 beats after the above and release both your fingers from the Pads simultaneously.

: Press and hold Pad6 
: Press and hold Pad5 

In the above Example, Pad6 is pressed before pressing Pad5. You can also press the Pads in the opposite order. 

: Press and hold Pad6 
: Press and hold Pad5 

Of course, you can use Echo and Version Echo independently, which is a basic operation and still effective. 
Please see Example 1) ~ 4) in the above Basic operation section for further details.

Next, try pressing Pad3.
It would be good to set FX BEATS at 1 or 2.
When pressing Pad3, an effect just like shredding the track will be applied.   
If Pad3 is held continuously, the track volume will gradually become lower and eventually be muted. 
When releasing your hand from the Pad, the effect is disabled and the original playback sound will come back. 

When using Pad3, the following examples would be effective.

Ensure FX BEATS is set at 1 or 2 before performing the examples below.

Echo & Version Echo

Shredder

Example 9)  Press Pad3 only for 1 bar from the beginning of a bar.

: Press and hold Pad3 

Next, try pressing Pad7.
LFO is selected as the parameter of Filter operation mode for Pad7, so the track volume will not become lower 
even if you press and hold the Pad continuously.
Filter effect is applied as soon as Pad7 is pressed. 
It is effective for Pad7 to be pressed only for 1 bar in the same way as Pad3.

I will show you another recommended way of setting and operation.  
If you have purchased BACK PACK, please try the following combination.  
As shown in Figure 2-10, select Echo for FX(1), Version Echo for FX(2) and Pitch Looper for FX(3). 
You do not have to change the parameters of Filter operation mode and FX level.  

Figure 2-10  Effect type settings

Echo and Version Echo are set the same as the previous Example, but Shredder is switched to Pitch Looper in FX(3). 
Pitch Looper has 2 different types of effect, one is repeating the track sound like a ROLL and another is changing pitch of the sound.
