Status LED Displays
In play mode, the otherwise unused UPPER MODE and STEP MODE status LEDs can be set to
display useful information about what is going, or just to look nice.
To cycle through the display modes, press the STEP MODE button.
The available modes are:
• VU meter – transmitted velocities are shown on each group of LEDs, one set for the odd, and
one for the even numbered tracks, in classic VU meter style
• Beat – pairs of lit LEDs indicate the current beat position
• GBar position – a countdown to the end of the current global bar is shown as a collapsing
pattern (really just the number in binary!)
• Track gates – each of the eight status LEDs shows the gate status for a track, with track 1 at the
top
GBar Pos and Playlist Hold
Holding the UPPER MODE button while in play mode gives you access to the playlist hold flags for
each track, and also shows the number of steps left until the next GBar end.
These flags allow you to suspend the progress of the playlist on any track.
While UPPER MODE is held, the track LEDs will normally indicate green for each track.
By pressing a TRACK key , the advance of the playlist on that track is suspended, and the LED shows
red.
Another press of the TRACK key will return the track to normal.
