20. Next Seq / XYFX: Press this button to view Next Sequence Mode where you can trigger different sequences

simply by playing the pads. This is useful for live performances, letting you change a song’s structure in real time.

Press and hold Shift and press this button to view XYFX Mode, which turns the touchscreen into an XY pad

where each axis represents the range of an effect parameter. As you move touch or move your finger on the

touchscreen, the current position will determine the current value of the two parameters. You can use this mode

to create interesting effect automation on your tracks.

21. –/+: Press these buttons to decrease/increase the value of the selected field in the display.

22. Tap Tempo / Master: Press this button in time with the desired tempo to enter a new tempo (in BPM). You can

set how many taps are required in the Preferences (see Operation > General Features > Menu > Preferences

to learn how to do this).

Press and hold Shift and press this button to set whether the currently selected sequence follows its own tempo

(the button will be lit amber) or a global tempo (the button will be lit red).

23. Rec: Press this button to record-arm the sequence. Press Play or Play Start to start recording. Recording in this

way (as opposed to using Overdub) erases the events of the current sequence. After the sequence plays through

once while recording, Overdub will be enabled.

24. Overdub: Press this button to enable Overdub. When enabled, you can record events in a Sequence without

overwriting any previously recorded events. You can enable Overdub before or during recording.

25. Stop: Press this button to stop playback. You can double-press this button to silence audio that is still sounding

once a note stops playing. Press and hold Shift and press this button to stop playback and return the playhead

to 1:1:0.

26. Play: Press this button to play the sequence from the playhead’s current position.

27. Play Start: Press this button to play the sequence from its start point.

28. Master Vol

: Turn this knob to adjust the volume of the Master L/R outputs, phones output and speakers.

29. Speakers: When the Speaker switch on the rear panel is set to On, these speakers will play the current audio.

Use the Master Volume knob to control the volume of the speakers.
