One step pad blinks
blue/white to show where
pattern is stopped
These two steps have
synth notes associated
with them
(HOLD)
Hold pad down to see which
note(s) play at this step
Keyboard pad(s) illuminate
red to indicate note at the
selected step
If a bright blue step pad (i.e., one corresponding to a synth note) is pressed and held, it illuminates
red, the note(s) at that step will sound, and the keyboard note(s) will also illuminate red (it will be two
pads if it’s the highest note in the lower octave or vice versa). This is illustrated in the second diagram
above. The pads stay red and the note(s) sound(s) for as long as the step pad is held down.
If you press a brightly-lit step pad but no keyboard pad illuminates red, it means that the note you are
hearing – the one recorded for that step – lies in another octave. Use the Octave buttons
15
to find
where the note is: a keyboard pad (or pads) will light red when you hit the right octave.
