Making an Audio Phrase
In the Quick Assign window shown on Page 9, click AsgnToAPhrs
(for “Assign to Audio Phrase”)—the AUDIO PHRASE QUICK
ASSIGN window appears.
The currently
selected pad
is outlined in
black.
Any pad that
already plays
an audio
phrase is
gray.
Select a pad for playing the sample as an audio phrase by:
• dialing in the desired pad—using the Assign To parameter.
• striking the desired pad—in the current pad bank. To
change pad banks, press the PAD BANKS button, pick the
bank you want, click Close, and then hit the desired pad.
Once you’ve selected the pad you want, click Execute.
To play the audio phrase, press the AUDIO
PHRASE button—the AUDIO PHRASES
(PAD) window appears, and you can play
the phrase’s pad.
We assigned
Broke Beat to
the first pad in
the first pad
bank.
If the audio phrase’s pad bank isn’t shown, press PAD BANKS to select the
right bank.
Setting Up How the Audio Phrase Behaves
With the AUDIO PHRASES (PAD) window
open, hit the pad that plays the audio
phrase, and then press the QUICK EDIT
button—the audio phrase’s parameters
appear in the AUDIO PHRASE EDIT window.
In the AUDIO PHRASE EDIT window, you can set how the audio
phrase plays. Here’s what its parameters do:
• Pad Play—sets the way the pad plays the audio phrase:
• Gate—In Gate mode, the pad plays its audio phrase for
only as long as you hold down the pad.
• Trigger—In Trigger mode, the audio phrase’s pad acts
as an on/off switch. The first time you hit the pad, its
audio phrase plays. (If it’s set to loop, it’ll keep playing.)
The second time you hit the pad, it stops.
• Drum—In Drum mode, striking a pad causes its audio
phrase to play all the way through, and then stop,
whether the pad is set to loop or not. If you hit the pad
a second time, it starts playing again from the top.
