5.4.3 Loading an Additional Bass Sound
To enhance your song further, we will load another bass Sound next to “Analovue.” This sec-
ond bass could for example play rhythmic lines with somewhat higher frequencies.
Selecting the Sound Slot 2
Before you load another Sound, you first need to select another Sound slot — e.g., Sound slot
2.
In the software, you can select Sound slot 2 as usual by clicking its name in the Pattern Edi-
tor.
On your controller, you will notice that pressing pad 2 only is not working for selecting Sound
slot 2: Indeed, since your pads are in Keyboard mode, they don’t play/select each Sound slot
but play each note of the same Sound slot 1. To circumvent this, do the following on your con-
troller:
1. Press and hold SELECT.
2. Check that QUIET is selected at the top of the display. If not, press F1 to select it.
3. While still holding SELECT, press pad 2 to select Sound slot 2.
→
Sound slot 2 is now selected.
Holding SELECT while pressing the pad selects the Sound slot regardless of which pad
mode is active; on the contrary, pressing the pad only does not select the Sound slot if
the Keyboard mode is active. Moreover, when holding the SELECT button, you don’t
hear the Sound when you press the pad — hence the label QUIET in the display. This
can be very useful when your song is playing and you don’t want the audience to hear
your selection!
You can also press SELECT (and F1 if necessary) to visually check on your pads which
Sound slot is currently selected!
