32. Sampler: This Pad Mode button switches the pads between two modes: Sample Player
Mode and Sample Velocity Trigger Mode. When the button is unlit, the first press will
always select Sample Player Mode.
• Sample Player Mode: Pads 1-6 each trigger a sample, which you can assign in the
software (the volume level is also set in the software). Unlit pads have no sample
assigned to them. To stop playback of a sample, press and hold Shift and then
press the corresponding pad (of Pads 1-3 or Pads 4-6).
• Sample Velocity Trigger Mode: The pads behave identically to the pads in Sample
Player Mode, except they are velocity-sensitive, so triggered samples will play back
at a volume level proportional to how heavily you pressed the pads. This mode can
give your performance more of a "human feel."
33. Slicer: This Pad Mode button switches the pads between two modes: Slicer Mode and
Slicer Loop Mode. When the button is unlit, the first press will always select Slicer Mode.
Important: Your track must have a set Beat Grid for Slicer Mode or Slicer Loop Mode to
work.
• Slicer Mode: The eight pads represent eight sequential beats—"Slices"—in the
Beat Grid. The currently playing Slice is represented by the currently lit pad; the light
will "move through the pads" as it progresses through each eight-Slice phrase.
Press a pad to play that Slice—hold it down if you want to keep looping it. When
you release the pad, the track will resume normal playback from where it would have
been if you had never pressed it (i.e., as if the track had been playing forward the
whole time).
Press the Parameter < or Parameter > button to decrease or increase the Slice
quantization. Press and hold Shift and then press the Parameter < or Parameter >
button to decrease or increase the Slice Domain size.
• Slicer Loop Mode: The pads behave identically to the pads in Slicer Mode, except
the eight-Slice phrase will loop rather than moving forward continuously through the
track.
