You can audition the samples by pressing the sample pads. To change the active sample, give a
different sample pad a quick tap: a longer press will play the sample but leave the previous sample
assigned as the active one.
To assign the active sample to Pattern steps in Stop Mode or Play Mode, tap the Pattern step pads
that correspond to where you want drum hits to be triggered. The steps with hits will illuminate bright
blue. The step pads are toggles – to delete the drum hit from a step, tap the step pad again.
The short/long press logic of the pads lets you play additional drum hits from a different sample pad
over the Pattern: pressing (as opposed to tapping) a different pad will play its sample but the Pattern
will not assume the new sample. If you tap a different sample pad while the Pattern is playing, the
Pattern will continue with the new sample.
Drum hits programmed in Stop or Play Modes as described above will be assigned to steps with
default Velocity, Micro Step and Probability values: these parameters can subsequently be edited. If
you use Record Mode to record on the drum tracks, you play the hits in real time on the sample pad.
In this case, the velocity of the hit is assigned to the step and its value can be inspected in Velocity
View.
Expanded Drum View
You can enter a drum pattern for all drum tracks simultaneously on a dedicated set of four pads – one
for each drum track – by using Expand View. Expanded Drum View is the secondary view of the Note
button
