To load a keygroup insert effect in Program Edit Mode:
1. While using the desired program, press the desired pad to select it.
2. Tap the Effects tab in the lower-right corner, and use it to load or edit effects.
Keygroups
You can load up to 4 insert effects to each keygroup. You can do this in Main Mode, the Pad Mixer, or
Program Edit Mode in the software.
Important: When using keygroup insert effects, they will be applied to the entire keygroup program. This
is because a keygroup program uses the same sound across all pads, as opposed to drum programs
where each pad can have its own insert effect. You can still load up to four insert effects per keygroup,
but all of them will affect the entire program.
To load a keygroup insert effect in Main Mode:
1. Use the Track field to select the track that uses the program with the desired pad—the program it
uses will be selected automatically.
2. If the channel strip is not already shown, tap the small triangle ( ) icon below the Project field to show it.
3. Tap the first (pad) icon at the top of the channel strip. The channel strip will now show settings for
the current keygroup.
4. Press a pad to select its corresponding keygroup, or tap it in the touchscreen. Alternatively, use the
Keygroup field below the Program field.
Important: Remember that regardless of the keygroup, the effect will be applied to the entire
keygroup program. You can still load up to four insert effects per keygroup, but all of them will affect
the entire program.
5. Tap the pencil icon next to Inserts, and then use the window that appears to load or edit effects.
