LENGTH:
this function gives the possibility to select the length of a pattern between 1 to 64 steps. By default,
the pattern is set to be 16 steps but length can be changed in real-time and have odd number of measures.
When it is used during a playback, the length will be affected.
DEMO:
Press ALT+LENGTH to activate the playback of 20 KITS on 20 Patterns.
The “Home” button of these functions is SOUND, meaning that when any other orange button is deselected, the
selection goes back to SOUND.
The Black buttons are toggle buttons which enable or disable direct functions:
SELECT ALL:
enable this function to select all of the elements at once and then make tweaks or effects on
all the elements at the same time. Possible tweaks are: Mute, roll, random, and all the parameters showed on
the DRUM row. When the function is activated it is not possible to change the sounds of all elements using the
SOUND button. If the SOUND button is pressed when the select all function is active, the function is disabled
and the last element selection becomes active.
SELECT:
When active it disables the playback of the Pads and maintains the selection of the relative element.
MUTE:
When active it disables the playback of the Pads and the selection will MUTE or UNMUTE the selected
pads. Muted pads are lit in RED while playing pads are unlit.
TAP TEMPO:
Tap tempo function gives the possibility to adjust the tempo without touching the tempo knob.
The tempo value will start blinking on the display from the 3rd tap on. A minimum of 3 taps is always required to
change tempo. When there is no Tap after 5 seconds the display will go back to the last selected parameter.
REC:
the self-explanatory recording button works for both step by step and live recording. It enables the
sequencer to record changes, step tweaks, and live playing. Inserting an element on a step is not intended as a
recording, but the tweak of its parameters is (see programming and recording sequence section).
PLAY:
start the playback of the selected pattern
Apart from the Buttons and the DATA ENCODER, we also have 2 direct controls knobs: these direct functions
are the VOLUME and the TEMPO Knob.
The VOLUME knob controls the master volume of the unit.
The TEMPO knob adjusts the master tempo of the unit from 30 to 299 bpm. When the unit is connected via
MIDI or USB, it is possible to decide to use the internal clock or external clock.
