Fill Play Mode
A fill is a pattern that is played in the middle of a song. When a fill is queued, it will play after the currently
playing pattern ends. When the fill ends, the normal pattern or song will continue.
Num
Play/Queue Fill:
Pressing one of the number buttons selects the fill pattern to be played. You can
press a sequence of number buttons and the fills will be queued (up to 32). Each fill in the queue will be
played in its entirety, then the currently playing pattern or song will continue. You can queue the same fill
pattern more than once.
Select Repeat Fill:
If you hold the Select button and hold a number button, the selected fill pattern will
repeat until you release the Select and/or number button.
Set Available Functions:
Solo/Mute, Swing/Rand, Bank, Pattern.
Notes
Fill patterns can be queued when the song is stopped. When the Play button is pressed, the fill patterns
will be played one time, and then the song will begin. In this case, the fills are intro patterns.
Fills play at the time scale of the fill pattern. For example, if you have a pattern or song playing 16
th
notes,
and you play a fill that is 32
nd
notes, the fill will play faster.
Overlay Play Mode
An overlay is a pattern that is played on top of the currently playing pattern. In essence, it merges the two
patterns. An overlay pattern can be simple, like just a few claps, or it can be as complex as you wish.
Num
Overlay Patterns:
Pressing one of the number buttons selects pattern to be overlaid. You can press
multiple number buttons and all of the selected patterns will be overlaid.
Select Queue Overlays:
If you hold the Select button and press one or more number buttons, the se-
lected patterns will be will be queued (up to 32). Each overlay will be played in its entirety on top of the
currently playing pattern or song. When the overlays are finished, the currently playing pattern or song
will continue as normal. You can queue the same overlay pattern more than once.
Set Available Functions:
Solo/Mute, Swing/Rand, Bank, Pattern.
Notes
Both queued and constant overlays can be played at the same time.
Overlays play at the time scale of the underlying pattern. For example, if you have a pattern or song play-
ing 16
th
notes, and you overlay a pattern that is 32
nd
notes, all the patterns will play 16
th
notes.
