Override and Overwrite
A: In all fader modes except mixer mode, pressing the A button during playback, toggles
Parameter Playback Override on or off for the current mode. During recording it toggles Live
Parameter Record Overwrite for the current mode.
B: In Mix, Level, or Pitch fader mode the B button toggles override/overwrite for the filter.
In Envelope mode: Envelope editor. In Loop/Slice mode: Waveform editor.
Mixer Mode
When no fader mode key is illuminated, then the faders are in Mixer mode. In Mixer mode, the
faders set the playback volume of the tracks. The mixer volume is not recorded into the pattern,
only the track level is. The levels that were recorded in the pattern are not changed, but are
combined with the mixer volume during playback.
In the mixer mode settings, the range of the mixer faders can be set for each track. Since mixer
mode is a performance feature, it is sometimes useful to limit the range to what is useful during
playback. The upper range can go beyond 0dB. At 0dB, the sounds will play at full volume.
Beyond 0dB, the sound will be amplified. At some point, the sound will clip. A tube-like soft
clipping algorithm is used which can actually sound great for some samples.
Top Knob: Controls the cutoff frequency of the digital filter.
Bottom Knob: Controls the resonance of the digital filter.
Level Fader Mode
The faders set the level of each track. Level is recorded into the pattern. If dynamic pads are
turned on, then the pad pressure sets the level, and the level faders are ignored. Note that the
dynamic level comes from how hard the pads are pressed, not how fast (velocity).
The knobs and B button control the filter.
Pitch Fader Mode
The faders set the pitch for each track. The on-screen faders show the number of semitones that
the pitch is offset from its original pitch. The range of the faders (up to ± octaves) can be set in
the Settings menu.
In addition to the common parameter settings, there is a Fine Pitch setting which allows for fine
adjustments of the pitch shift to an exact number of semitones and cents. The Fine Pitch setting
is available even when the pitch resolution is not set to Fine. When the pitch resolution is set to
Classic, the Fine Pitch setting not available. This is just a more precise way of doing the exact
same thing the faders do. It is not the same as the track Transpose setting.
The knobs and B button control the filter.
