The Keyboard View button.
The Pattern Editor shows a vertical keyboard at the right of the Sound slots. The rows in the
grid now represent each note for the selected Sound slot, instead of representing each Sound
slot.
The Keyboard mode on your controller and the Keyboard view in the software are strictly equivalent:
By switching to Keyboard view in the software, you also switch your controller to Keyboard mode; by
disabling the Keyboard mode on your controller, you also disable the Keyboard view in the software.
5.3.2.2 Switching to Keyboard Mode on the Controller
► Press SHIFT + PAD MODE (at the left of the pads).
→ From now on, your 16 pads will not trigger the 16 Sound slots of your Group, but instead
16 notes of the selected Sound. This will make both choosing a bass preset and recording
a bass line much easier!
To disable this Keyboard mode, press SHIFT + PAD MODE again.
As long as the Keyboard mode is active, the PAD MODE button is half lit to remind you it is
switched on.
Other pad modes are also available. For a detailed description of all pad modes, please refer to the
Manual.
