steps. In this situation, switching page is needed. Hold SHIFT and press one of the 4 pads from [1] to
[4] to switch between pages. Depends on the BEAT Length set in BEAT EDIT (SHIFT + [EDIT]), pads [2]
to [4] might not light up as the BEAT does not contain enough steps.

Press and hold one of the active steps for about 1.5 seconds will
enter the PARAMETER LOCK page for the step. The pad will turn pink
and the PARAMETER LOCK page will show up on the screen. Here you
can set multiple parameters specific for the selected step. Pretty
much every channel parameter and the step velocity can be locked
step by step, making the BEAT more versatile.
4.6.3 PARAMETER LOCK
In PARAMETER LOCK page, use VALUE encoder for navigation and editing parameter lock. The locked
parameter will be indicated with "*" at the end, LP CUTOFF: 110* etc. Parameter that locked will
remain the setting as the BEAT is playing, even if you change the parameter manually.
If you are happy about the setting, just press the selected step (pad) again to exit PARAMETER LOCK
page. The pad will flash if any parameter is locked.
To delete the parameter lock, just deactivate and reactive the step via double press the pad.
