of this sequence is displayed in the context bar above the grid. This is visible on all of the top-level screens. This is the
sequence that will capture the notes and pad triggers you play while recording. Push the INFO button repeatedly to cycle
through the piano roll and parameter pages for the sequence.
Select an empty sequence cell and we will record into it. Push PADS to go to the Pads screen. Hold down the REC button
and push PLAY to start recording a sequence. After the 4 beat count down, tap some pads to create a sequence. By
default, the sequence is one bar long. Blackbox will play the sequence in a loop as soon as you finish recording it. If you tap
some more pads, you will add more pad triggers to the sequence. Push REC to stop recording while the sequence still
plays. You can choose different sequences to record into while the other sequences are playing. Press STOP when you want
the sequences to stop.
Before we move on to song sections, go back to the SEQS screen and touch DEACT on the right. This will deactivate all
sequences.

Explore Song Sections

Push the SONG button to go to the Song screen with its list of song sections. Touch the on-
screen Song button to enable Song Mode. Notice that the context bar at the top of the
screen now displays the name of the currently selected section. Now press PLAY to play the
song sections in order starting with the selected section. You can jump around between the
sections by touching a section to make it the next section. You can play a section on loop by
touching the Loop button at the top of the screen.
While a song section is playing, push the SEQS button to watch as blackbox plays the
sequences in the section. You can play additional sequences by making them active. This will
not add to the song section because you aren't recording yet.
While a song section is playing, push the PADS button to watch pads being triggered by the sequences in the song section.
Touch a pad to trigger it and play along. On the Song screen, turn the top left knob to adjust the BPM of the internal clock.
The song will slow down or speed up in real time as you adjust this. Turn the top right knob to adjust the amount of swing in
the notes.
Push STOP to end playback of the song section.

Song Mode and REC | STOP | PLAY Buttons

Let's talk about Song Mode and the transit buttons. When Song Mode is disabled, the PLAY, STOP and REC buttons
generally control the sequences. The one exception is when you are recording a new sample on the Sample Recording
screen. When Song Mode is enabled, the PLAY, STOP and REC buttons control the song sections. The text in the top
middle of the top-level screens always indicates what will be the target of a recording action. If Song Mode is disabled, this
text will indicate which sequence cell is currently selected, e.g. Seq 8. When Song Mode is enabled, this text will indicate
which Song section is currently selected, e.g. Inspiration. Here's what happens when you use the transit buttons in the
different modes:
