To perform a Quick Copy, press and hold a grid pad for about half a second. The pad will be
highlighted in purple and its parameter values will be copied to the clipboard. While still
holding the source pad, indicate the destination pad where it should be pasted.
The Quick Copy of an existing step copies its values to a ‘work step’ editing area.
Copying large amounts of data, like in the case of the Patterns mode, may take a moment.
When Play is processing such operations, complementary information will be displayed on
the screen.
Knobs
You will be using these knobs a lot. It’s crucial to understand that some of their functions
may differ based on scenarios of use and available modes. Some are strictly limited to
project settings, while most of them have a specific influence on both the steps and tracks.
Start tweaking the ‘work step’ or an existing step parameter value by using the available
function knobs. Each knob controls two parameters described on the front panel. The
operational parameter is highlighted. Some of the basic rules applying to knob use are:
Turn the desired knob to change its active parameter value.
The currently selected knob parameter can also be controlled by the screen encoder.
Touch a knob to see its dual parameter values for the selected step.
Double-touch the knob or press one of the function buttons located on the left side of
the screen to switch the active parameter.
When multiple steps are selected, turning a knob will affect all of those steps.
When the parameter values of many selected steps are different, a
tilde ~
sign together
with a number and
+
/
–
is displayed. In this case, any increase or decrease in parameter
values will be added or subtracted from the current values of the selected steps.
Double-click a screen button corresponding to the selected knob parameter value (and
its automation) will drop its value to default.
Important:
You can disable the knobs’ double-tapping option in the Main menu > Setting section.
Knobs work differently in the sample-based audio and MIDI sequencing scenarios.
These differences are mentioned in the MIDI sequencer section of this manual.
