5. Turn  the  Control  encoder  to  select  the  desired  Choke  mode  from  MASTER  (default  set-
ting) or SLAVE for that pad.
6. Release PAD MODE (or press it again if you pinned the mode).
5.1.5 Using Link Groups
 
When your  pads  are  in  Group mode,  Link  groups allow  you  to link  pads  with each  other:  this
can be used to trigger multiple Sounds when pressing only one pad. Each pad of a Group can
be assigned  to one  of  eight Link  groups. A  pad  may be  set as  a  Master or  Slave in  the  Link
group:
▪ If the pad is set to Master (default setting) it will trigger other pads in the same Link group.
▪ If the pad is set to Slave it will only trigger its own Sound, even if it is part of a Link group
— but be triggered by pads set to Master within the same group.
You may set more than one pad as Master or Slave within the same group.
Link groups affect not only the notes you play on the pads and the notes triggered by the
Patterns, but also the MIDI notes controlling your Sounds.
Link  groups  are  a  “live”  feature:  They  only  affect  the  note  triggers.  In  Record  mode,
Link  groups  don’t  affect  the  notes  recorded  in  your  Patterns  —  in  other  terms  notes
won’t be recorded for the linked pads! Notably, this allow you to modify your Link group
assignments  after  recording.  If  you  want  to  copy  the  notes  from  a  Sound  to  another
Sound in Patterns, please refer to section ↑7.4, Editing Events.
You  can  select  multiple  Sound  slots  and  quickly  assign  them  all  to  a  particular  Link
group at once!
To assign the selected Sound(s) to a Link group and set its/their Link mode (Master or Slave),
do the following:
1. Click  the  Pad  View  button  above  the  Sound  List  in  the  Pattern  Editor  to  show  the  Pad
view for the focused Group.
2. In the Link section click the Group value and select the desired group 1–8 from the list or
choose None (default setting) to remove the Sound from its current Link group.
