12.2 Performing - Quick Start
Assuming the effects are set up, values in place then real-time
improvisations can be performed. Think of performance effects as applying
parameter value variations as an offset from the current setting.
▌ PERFORMING LIVE WITH THE PERFORMANCE EFFECTS
1. Press [Perform] to select the Performance Mode page.
2. Press [Track 1] - [Track 8], screen buttons to select for applying effects
on (red) or off. Only the selected, red lit tracks will be affected by the
triggered performance effects.
3. Press [Play] to play a pattern or [Shift] + [Play] to play a song, also

6. To apply a temporary effect, Hold [PAD] + Turn (Jog) - when NOT in
[Rec] mode, i.e. parameters are green. The effect value will be applied
while the pad is held and will revert to the default when the pad is
