Status LED Displays

In play mode, the otherwise unused

UPPER MODE

and

STEP MODE

status LEDs can be set to

display useful information about what is going, or just to look nice.

To cycle through the display modes, press the

STEP MODE

button.

The available modes are:

•

VU meter

– transmitted velocities are shown on each group of LEDs, one set for the odd, and

one for the even numbered tracks, in classic VU meter style

•

Beat

– pairs of lit LEDs indicate the current beat position

•

GBar position

– a countdown to the end of the current global bar is shown as a collapsing

pattern (really just the number in binary!)

•

Track gates

– each of the eight status LEDs shows the gate status for a track, with track 1 at the

top

GBar Pos and Playlist Hold

Holding the

UPPER MODE

button while in play mode gives you access to the

playlist hold

flags for

each track, and also shows the number of steps left until the next

GBar

end.

These flags allow you to suspend the progress of the playlist on any track.

While

UPPER MODE

is held, the track LEDs will normally indicate green for each track.

By pressing a

TRACK key

, the advance of the playlist on that track is suspended, and the LED shows

red.

Another press of the

TRACK key

will return the track to normal.
