4.2.11.3. The Hold Button
The Hold button has an important function when an arpeggio is playing. When Hold is active
you can lift your fingers from the keyboard and the arpeggio will continue to play. Hold also
enables you to add more notes (up to 16) to an arpeggio while it is running.
4.2.11.4. The Trans (Transpose) Button
The Transpose function lets you shift up or shift down the pitch of running sequences/
patterns and arpeggios. To transpose, hold down the Trans button and play a note on the
keyboard. Notes below middle C will cause a downward transposition; notes above middle
C will cause an upward transposition.
4.2.11.5. The Tie/Rest/Chord Button
When creating a sequence, this button is used to enter rests or to tie two notes together.
However, when in Step Edit mode, if you press Tie/Rest the current step will be cleared. If
the sequencer is running in Step Edit mode, holding down Tie/Rest is a quick way to clear
the contents of a series of steps.
Holding down SHIFT while pressing the Tie/Rest/Chord button switches Chord mode on or
off. This is covered in
4.2.11.6. The Overdub Button
The Overdub button plays an important role in Step Edit mode when you are editing the
content of a specific step. While overdub is ON, any notes you play on the keyboard will be
added to the existing notes of that step. When overdub is OFF, any new notes you play will
replace the existing notes in the step. You can always tell whether you're in add or replace
mode: if you are in Quick Edit or Step Edit mode, when the LED above a key blinks the
existing notes of the step will be replaced.
