Perform is a dedicated mode designed to
maximise the creative and ad lib experience
when performing live. Perform supports
improvisation and lays out a platform for the
musician and producer to express themselves
in an entertaining way. Perform mode, when
selected, presents the 8 x 16 pad grid as a
performance instrument. The Performance
effects available in this mode are laid out
across the pad grid in colour coded sections
which represent various effect categories. The
punch-in effects are manually triggered by
selecting a pad. Only one effect from each
category can be selected at any one time. The
last selected effect details will be displayed
while the effect is selected when in Perform
Mode. This means Play operates like an
instrument during playback. Each pad will
trigger a punch-in effect and coupled with the
ability to adjust the function and parameter
knobs, Play becomes a playable instrument in
itself. The Perform environment is self contained
and any changes made in Perform mode will be
turned off when exiting and when re-entering
Perform mode latched effects are restored. This
does not apply to knobs which revert to their
original value and helps protect the production
integrity when playing live. Also switching
between Pattern and Perform modes also
retains the performance effects although
patterns cannot be edited in Perform Mode.
Perform mode is only available for audio tracks
and will disable the ‘Live Rec’ mode if active,
when Perform is selected. The ability to
improvise with Play demonstrates the focus on
real time performance and on the y creativity.
