Shift+Run/Stop is a context-specific override.
When stopped, Shift+Run/Stop continues playing from the point at which the pattern was
stopped.
When running, Shift+Run/Stop restarts the pattern at the beginning. If the pattern number has
been changed, but the current pattern is still playing, Shift+Run/Stop immediately starts the
new pattern.
When using an external clock source, Shift+Run/Stop forces the pattern to play even if no
external clock is being received. Or, forces the pattern to stop if it is already playing.
Recording Patterns
Rec/Edit+Run/Stop: To begin recording, hold the Rec/Edit key then press the Run/Stop key. Any
pads pressed will be recorded into the pattern along with their parameter (pitch, level, etc.)
values that are set at the time the pad is pressed. The next section covers all of the parameters
in detail.
While recording, press Rec/Edit to disengage and reengage recording without stopping
playback. This allows for practicing changes. You can play over top of the pattern without
changing it. It is also a good way to audition parameter changes. For example, you can tweak the
pitch and press a pad until it sounds just right, then press Rec/Edit again to reengage recording,
then press pads to add them to the pattern.
Pattern Tempo
Tempo: Press the tempo key to highlight the tempo field. When highlighted, press the arrow
keys, or turn the encoder to change the tempo in increments of one BPM (beats per minute).
Shift+Arrows/Encoder changes the tempo in 0.1 BPM increments. The numeric keys can also be
used to enter the tempo. Press enter when finished typing the numbers. The fractional portion
may be omitted. To enter a fractional tempo that is less than 100BPM, type a leading zero first.
Shift+Tempo: Toggles global tempo or pattern-specific tempo for the current pattern. An equal
sign between the tempo symbol and the BPM indicates that the current pattern is using the
global tempo. An identical symbol ā” indicates that the tempo is pattern-specific.
Tap/Repeat: While the tempo is highlighted, press the Tap/Repeat key in time with the beat
(quarter notes) to set the tempo. At least two key presses are needed to set the tempo. The
number of presses that are averaged when calculating the tempo is set in global settings.
Repeat
Tap/Repeat+Pad: Hold the Tap/Repeat key while pressing a pad to repeat the track. The repeat
speed is set by the quantize setting for the track. Tracks can be repeated during recording,
playback, or even when a pattern is not running.
Shift+Tap/Repeat: Locks repeat mode. Any pads pressed will be repeated without having to
hold the Tap/Repeat key. Press and release Tap/Repeat to unlock repeat.
