10.12.9 SWING
Sets the swing of the pattern, allowing for a different rhythmic groove. Access this menu by pressing
[FUNC] + [PTN] .
10.12.10 TRACK TRANSPOSE
Tracks can be transposed up or down, and the transpose function can be locked for one handed oper-
ation. The tracks that will be affected by the transpose functionality are set in the NOTES SETUP menu.
Read more in section “NOTES SETUP” on page 35. A quick command for this also exists. Press [TRNS]
+ [TRACK] to activate or deactivate the transpose functionality for the tracks. When pressing and hold-
ing the [TRNS] key, lit [TRACK] keys indicate which tracks are transpose activated.
To transpose, press and hold [TRNS] and press a [KEYBOARD] key. Select a different octave range to
transpose to by pressing [UP] or [DOWN] . After having performed a transpose, a little pop-up window
will show how many semitones the transpose consists of.
The notes of the tracks are transposed according to the TRK KEY NOTE and TRK KEY SCALE settings,
found in the NOTES SETUP menu covered on page 35. The transpose is an offset to the set key note,
meaning all note trigs retain their original note values after having been transposed. If for example the
key note is set to a C and
[KEYBOARD F1]
is pressed, the transpose activated tracks will be transposed
+5 semitones.
The transpose offset can be applied permanently as well. After performing a transpose, press
[TRNS] +
[YES] . The value of the transposed note trigs will be permanently altered.
If [FUNC] + [TRNS] is pressed, the transpose lock functionality will be activated. Transpose lock is indi-
cated by a full-bright <TRANSPOSE> LED. When this function is activated, the [TRNS] key will act as if
constantly pressed, enabling one-handed transpositions when pressing the [KEYBOARD] keys.
Please note that when transpose lock is activated, the [KEYBOARD] keys will not be able
to play Sounds or set the note value of note trigs. They will only be used for transpose
duties. The secondary functions of the [KEYBOARD] keys, for instance, accessing the KIT
and SOUND menus, are still possible to access.
10.12.11 DESTRUCTIVE TRANSPOSE
Tracks can be transposed destructively, altering the note values of the note trigs permanently. Do so by
pressing [TRACK] + [UP] / [DOWN] . The value of the note trigs will be changed up or down in the select-
ed amount of semitones. The tracks do not have to be transpose activated for this to work.
10.12.12 COPY, PASTE, AND CLEAR OPERATIONS
Patterns, track pages, tracks, and trigs can be copied, pasted and cleared.
The active pattern can be copied to either another location in the same bank or to a location in anoth-
er bank. To perform a pattern copy operation, GRID RECORDING mode must not be active. Copy the
pattern by pressing [FUNC] + [RECORD] . Select another pattern and paste the copied pattern to this lo-
cation by pressing
[FUNC]
+
[STOP]
. The operation can be undone by pressing
[FUNC]
+
[STOP]
again.
Clear a pattern by pressing [FUNC] + [PLAY] . Undo the operation by repeating the key presses.
After having selected a pattern, and before releasing any key, [RECORD] , [PLAY] and [STOP] can be
pressed to copy, clear or paste patterns. No new chain will be built, nor any pattern enqueued. It is possi-
ble to clear, copy or paste multiple patterns at the same time.
Individual tracks can be copied, pasted and cleared in the same way as patterns. To do so, GRID RE-
CORDING mode needs to be active.
A track page is one of the up to four pages of sequencer steps a pattern can consist of. It is similar to
copy/paste/clear a track, but will only affect the active track page. GRID RECORDING mode needs to
be active here as well. Select the track page that will be affected by pressing the [PAGE] key. Copy by
pressing [PAGE] + [RECORD] . Select a new track page and press [PAGE] + [STOP] to paste. Undo by
