Notes Mode

In Notes mode, sliding your finger on the Smart Strip plays the pads you hold one after the oth-
er. Sliding your finger on the Smart Strip while no pad is held will play all Sounds mapped to
the pad matrix in Pad Mode or Keyboard mode. If you slide your finger from left to right, the
pads will be played in an ascending manner. If you slide your finger from right to left, the pads
will be played in a descending manner. This applies regardless of which pads (if any) are held.
To play notes using the Smart Strip:
1. Load a Group (in Pad mode) or Sound (in Keyboard/Chords mode) so they are mapped to
the pads.
2. Press the NOTES button to enable Notes mode.
3. Press and hold the pads you want to play.
4. Slide your finger on the Smart Strip to "strum" the sounds mapped to the pads.
