3. Select another track, and add note trigs and lock trigs.
4. Press [PLAY] to listen to the sequence.

4.4 LIVE RECORDING MODE

LIVE RECORDING mode is the second method of adding trigs to the tracks. In this record-
ing mode, the [KEYBOARD] and the [TRIG] keys are played in real time to input trigs to the
tracks. You can also turn the DATA ENTRY knobs to enter lock trigs with parameter locks.
1. Press and hold [RECORD], then press [PLAY] to enter LIVE RECORDING mode.
If you quickly press [PLAY] twice while keeping the [RECORD] key pressed, you
activate/deactivate the quantization of LIVE RECORDING. The sequencer starts to
play, and the [RECORD] key starts to flash red.
2. Press the [KEYBOARD] or the [TRIG] keys and turn the DATA ENTRY knobs to enter
trigs in real time. The [TRIG] key pressed determines the pitch value of the note trig.
3. Press [PLAY] to exit LIVE RECORDING mode while keeping the sequencer playing.
GRID RECORDING mode is activated if you press [RECORD] while LIVE RECORD-
ING mode is active.

4.5 PARAMETER LOCKS

Parameter locks enable all sequencer trigs to have their unique parameter values. The
note trigs of a synth track can, for example, have different a pitch, velocity or length set-
tings. It is possible to parameter lock all parameters found on the PARAMETER pages, and
you can apply parameter locks on both synth and MIDI tracks.
In GRID RECORDING mode, first, add a note or a lock trig. Then press and hold the [TRIG]
key of the trig and use the DATA ENTRY knobs adjust the parameters to which you want
to add parameter locks. The graphics on the screen becomes inverted for the locked pa-
rameter and shows the locked parameter values. The [TRIG] key of the locked trig begins
to flash, to indicate that the trig now contains a parameter lock.
In LIVE RECORDING mode, turn the DATA ENTRY knobs, or play the [TRIG] keys to add
parameter locks to the active track. Note trigs are placed and parameter locked accord-
ingly. It also places lock trigs that contain the parameter locks on the sequencer steps that
do not already have any trigs.
