A comfortable way to start creating your sequences by creating steps on the tracks is to use
the
Pick
and
Place
method. Use the knobs to pick the ‘work step’ parameter values, their
sample, note, volume, filter type, send Fx, MIDI properties, etc. When ready, start pressing
the grid pads to place steps on the sequencer tracks.
Deselect all the steps and tracks to get back to ‘work step’ editing.
Once you have entered some steps into the grid, you can
Select
them and
Adjust
their
settings. Select a step by pressing and holding the grid pad and use the knobs to modify its
parameters. All the knobs are described in detail in a dedicated section below.
Briefly press a step pad to enable it. Briefly press the same step pad once again to
delete it.
Press and hold the step pad for about half a second to Quick Copy it. This function is
explained in a separate section below
When a note step is selected, its sound parameters can be edited with parameter
knobs.
Most step edit actions can be done on individual steps or multiple selected steps. The steps
can be selected for editing in a few different ways:
You can press and hold one or more pads. The selection is active while the pads are
held.
Add steps to active selection by pressing pads while holding Shift. Edit selection by
pressing the Shift key again.
Select a rectangular block of multiple steps across multiple tracks by holding the Shift
key and then pressing pads on opposite diagonal points of a rectangular block of the
steps you wish to include.
Use the Select function pads to select an entire track or multiple tracks and all of the
steps contained within them, including empty steps, as well as any previously-selected
steps.
Press and quickly release the Shift key to clear any type of selection.
When no track or step is currently selected/held for editing, then by turning the
knobs you will pick/modify the so-called ‘work step’ values. It applies the same way
to both audio and MIDI sequencing modes.
Deselect all the steps and tracks to get back to ‘work step’ editing.
