As a sequence plays, you can use the buttons at the bottom edge of the touchscreen to change how
playback works:
•
To switch to the currently selected sequence at the beginning of the next bar, tap Next Bar.
This is useful if you want to switch to another sequence before the current one ends without having
to worry about timing issues.
•
To switch to the currently selected sequence immediately, tap Sudden. The new sequence will
start playing whether or not the current sequence is done. This is useful in live performances if you
need to switch to the next sequence instantly at a certain cue.
•
To delete the currently selected sequence from the sequence playlist, tap Clear. This option is
available only if that sequence is not playing at that moment.
•
To repeat the current sequence indefinitely and temporarily ignore pad presses, tap Hold. To
return to normal operation, tap it again. This is useful if you want to select other pads without
selecting them to play next.
While not playing, tap Copy to Song to copy the sequence playlist to a song.
In the Copy to Song window that appears, select a song, and then tap Do It to continue or Close to
cancel.
To read more about Song Mode, please see the Song Mode chapter.
