set the tempo by repeatedly pressing the TAP button.
The tempo value is indicated in the left display.
You can also adjust the volume of the metronome by pressing SHIFT + GRID and turn-
ing Knob 1
We recommend you to start with a simple sequence using a few Sounds only (e.g., the
kick and the snare on pads 1 and 2). You will have the possibility to enrich your Pattern
later!
When you feel ready, start recording:
1. With the sequencer playing, press REC to enter recording mode.
REC lights up red.
2. Play the desired rhythm on the pads. By default, the recorded Pattern is one bar long.
Your playing is recorded and directly played in a loop. As long as you don’t press PLAY
again, the new Pattern keeps playing.
3. Press REC again to stop recording.

You just created your first Pattern!
You can now deactivate the metronome by pressing METRO again and listen to your newly cre-
ated rhythm.

To stop the sequencer, press PLAY again.
