With the normal fader modes, the eight pads/faders/knobs control eight tracks (one bank).
Multi Mode takes a single track and spreads eight different values of one parameter (level,
pitch, envelope, loop/slice) across the pads/faders/knobs. Those eight multi values are in
addition to the main, non-multi value.
When the Multi Mode key is pressed, the last track whose pad was pressed becomes the active
track. The other seven pads will change to the same color as the active track, but dimmer. To
change the active track, hold the Multi Mode key and press a pad. That has the same effect as
pressing Multi Mode, pressing another pad, then pressing Multi Mode again.
The filter does not have its own fader mode key, but it also has eight multi values when the
machine is in in level or pitch Multi Mode.
When recording a pattern in multimode, the pad that was pressed is also recorded into the
pattern. That enables features such as erasing a specific multi from the pattern.
Multi Mode Sync
With normal, non-synced Multi Mode, only one parameter is in Multi Mode at a time. For
example, when in level Multi Mode, the eight pads play at eight different levels, but they all play
at the same pitch, envelope, and loop/slice parameters (the main parameters).
When Multi Mode is turned on for a parameter, then the eight multi-values of that parameter
are also used in the other three Multi Modes. For example, if Multi Mode Sync is turned on for
pitch, then when in level Multi Mode, the pads are eight different levels, and eight different
pitches – but still use the main envelope and main loop/slice parameters.
Each of the four fader modes and the filter has its own Multi Mode Sync setting, which can be
turned on in any combination. The Multi Mode Sync settings are per track, so each track can
have a different combination.
To turn on Multi Mode Sync, press Shift+A to edit the track / fader mode settings. There is also a
“Set for all tracks” option to copy a track’s settings to all tracks.
Filter Multi Mode Enable
Access the Filter Settings menu by pressing Shift+B in Mixer, Level, or Pitch fader mode.
On the menu is an option called Multi Enabled. When enabled, the filter has a main value plus
eight multi values just like any other parameter. When disabled, the filter the filter only has one
value, and in Multi Mode all knobs change the main value.
Filter Multi can be enabled/disabled per track.
