In addition to its inspiring compositional tools, Play introduces an entertaining way to
perform your music. To start, press the
Perform
screen button during playback, it will turn
yellow when active. In this mode, you can operate most of the function knobs and use the
punch-in effects.
Any changes you make here using knobs and punch-in effect pads will be immediately
turned off when you exit Perform mode. After re-entering the Perform mode, any latched
effect pads will immediately be re-activated. This does not, however, apply to the knob
modulations, which instead revert to their originally-defined values. This offers something of
a safety net while performing live.
Choose one or more tracks using the Select function pads on the right side of the grid, and
start using the grid pads and knobs. In the case of most of the punch-in effects, only the
selected tracks will be affected. If no track is selected then changes will not be audible. The
exceptions are the eight Reverb preset, and all the Loop effects. These are master effects
and will be audible even when no tracks are selected. You can also prepare the set of punch-
in effects in advance and then activate the tracks.
The punch-in effects categories are split into vertical grid columns represented by different
colors. There are sixteen presets available in each category. Press and hold the pad to
momentarily activate a punch-in effect, or press and let go to latch the effect. Press it again
