PERSISTENT AUTO ADVANCE MODE 

Purpose 

To ensure that AUTO ADVANCE mode stays turned on until you manually turn it off (even if you press RUN) 

Default 

Disabled / Off 

Operation 

To enable PERSISTENT AUTO ADVANCE MODE, press and hold PROG/RESET then press STEP DOWN/AUTO ADV, 
and hold both buttons for 1 second.  The STEP 16 LED will blink twice when enabled and flicker once briefly 
when disabled. 

LIVE TRANSPOSE 

Purpose 

Transpose entire song / sequence up or down using the note keys.  When this mode is enabled and the 
sequencer is running (and not displaying SONG/SEQUENCE SELECT), you can use the note keys to temporarily 
transpose your entire sequence up or down. 

Default 

Disabled / Off 

Operation 

Hold down the PROG/RESET button, then tap the LOOP/[XPOS] button to cycle through the different LIVE 
TRANSPOSE modes: 

 

On: 

Root key at bottom (C note) of keyboard 

 

On: 

Root key in center of (F note) keyboard 

 

On: 

Root key at top (B note) of keyboard 

 

Off: 

Disabled 

The LOOP LED will flash twice for each ON mode, along with the selected root key, and will flicker when LIVE 
TRANSPOSE mode has been turned off. 

When LIVE TRANSPOSE is ON, instead of the usual current-note display, the NOTE and OCTAVE LEDs will display 
the transpose status: 

 

Steady NOTE LED: 

Root key 

 

Blinking NOTE LED: 

Currently selected transpose amount 

 

Flickering NOTE LED: 

All the notes in between 

Pressing the root key (indicated by a steady NOTE LED), will set the transpose amount to 0, and your sequence 
will play just as it is programmed. 

By pressing a NOTE key 

above

 the root key, the CV OUT will be transposed 

up

 by that number of steps.  For 

example, if the root key is the F in the middle of the keyboard and you press the G key, then your sequence will 
be temporarily transposed up 1 step (2 semitones).  The LED corresponding to the key you selected will blink to 
let you know at a glance how much you are transposing and in which direction.  All the LEDs in between the root 
key and your selected key will flicker dimly.
