(3) PAD MODE button: Enters Pad Mode. This mode allows you to select a different mode for
your pads. For example, you can quickly switch the pads to play melodies or even chords! The
following pad modes are available:
▪ In the standard layout mapping, each pad represents one Sound of the Group and the
Sounds’ velocity is controlled by the pressure applied on the pads.
▪ In Keyboard mode, the pads represent 16 chromatic steps of the currently selected Sound,
ascending from the selected root note — this way you can play the selected Sound like a
melodic instrument. You can also use F2 to transpose down or F3 to transpose up an oc-
tave at a time. Press SHIFT + PAD MODE to quickly activate Keyboard mode.
▪ In 16 Velocities mode, the pads represent 16 levels from the softest to the full velocity of
the currently selected Sound — this is especially useful for building up dynamic grooves.
▪ In Fixed Velocities mode, each pad represents one Sound of the Group and all Sounds have
the same fixed velocity, whatever pressure you apply on the pads.
You may also change Choke and Link settings in Pad Mode. Please refer to the Manual
for more information on these features.
(4) VIEW button: Enters View mode. When working on large Projects, it is sometimes necessary
to look at the computer screen. With View mode there is no need to use the mouse and search
for scroll bars or magnifying glasses! Just use the pads and the CONTROL section to zoom in
and out or scroll Patterns, Scenes and waveforms. See ↑10.1.2, Controlling the Software Views
from Your Controller for more information.
(5) DUPLICATE button: Enters Duplicate mode. Use the Duplicate mode to swiftly create anoth-
er instance of any Sound, Pattern, Group or Scene. This can be useful for creating variations or
trying out something new while preserving the current state of your work.
(6) SELECT button: Enters Select mode. This mode allows you to select a Sound without having
to play it, or select specific events of a particular Sound, which is useful for limiting quantiza-
tion, nudging notes and other operations specifically to the selected events. Use the shortcut
SHIFT + SELECT + pad to quickly select all events triggered by that pad in your Pattern, or
events at that pitch when in Keyboard mode. Use the shortcut ERASE + SELECT + pad to
quickly erase all events triggered by that pad in your Pattern or events at that pitch when in
Keyboard mode.
