Working with the Pads
The 16 RGB colored pads can be set up for different purpo-
ses. This depends on the pressed button left from the pad
section.
r
Keep in mind that each layer has its own pad confi-
guration. The pads will have the pad configuration of
the active layer. Everything will be saved with a
patch.
The pads can be used to play live or to setup latch patterns
to be auto-played in one of three modes:
1. Arpeggiator: The arpeggiator will take the pitches from
the latched pads as basis for the arp algorithm. Chords will
be broken into their constituent notes.
2. Sequencer: The last hold or latched pad will trigger the
sequencer and determine its transposition much as you
would do it from a normal keyboard.
3. Trigger Mode: The pads will be wandered according to
the trigger algorithm. Chords will be kept as chords. If no
note is latched, all pads will be used. If notes are latched,
they will be played but for the others rested.
