(4) NAVIGATE button: Enters NAVIGATE mode. When working on large Projects, it is sometimes
necessary to look at the computer screen. With NAVIGATE 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 through Patterns and Scenes. See ↑11.1.2, Controlling the
Software Views from Your Controller for more information. Furthermore, in Navigate mode the
Buttons above the displays allow you to quickly access Channel properties and Plug-in parame-
ters.

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.

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
