Keygroup Tracks

A keygroup track uses one or more samples as its sound source. It contains (1) a list of samples and (2) the settings for
each sample (i.e., pitch tuning, effects, etc.). Keygroup tracks are used to play samples chromatically with a MIDI
keyboard or the Force pads.
To create a keygroup track:
1. Press Matrix to enter Matrix Mode.
2. At the top of the screen, press the + icon to add a new track.
If you cannot see the + icon, press the right cursor to move the matrix
view until it is shown.
3. In the window that appears, turn the data dial to select Keygroup as the
track type.
If you would like to create more than one keygroup track at once, use the
Number of tracks field to select how many tracks you would like to
create.
4. Tap Do It to confirm, or tap Close, the X or outside the window to go
back. A new keygroup track will be created and appended with a number
(e.g., Keygroup 002).
Alternatively, press and hold the track select button of an unused track, then tap Keygroup.
To edit the track settings, double-tap the track name at the top of the screen to open the Track Settings window.
To rename the track, tap the track name field and use the virtual keyboard that appears to enter a new name, and then
tap Do It to confirm or the gray bar at the top of the screen to cancel.
To change the track color, tap the color field and use the data dial or -/+ buttons to scroll through the options. You
can also double-tap the color field and then swipe up or down, or use the data dial or -/+ buttons to scroll through the
options.
To transpose the keygroup track, tap the transpose field and use the data dial or -/+ buttons to set the transposition
amount.
