4. If you’d like to increase or decrease the tempo to make your playing feel more comforta-
ble, press the TEMPO button at the left of the controller (the button lights up), turn the
Control encoder, and press TEMPO again to deactivate it (the button turns off).
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.
It is recommended that you 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 Pat-
tern 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!

newly created rhythm.

To stop the sequencer, press PLAY again.
