Sound Parameters
It is possible to adjust the pitch, the note length and the extra parameters upfront.
This way, you can create a default setting that applies, e.g. when deleting a
pattern. To do so, press the button of the Value control once (left LED lit). Next,
press REC and e.g. BD, then release both buttons. Subsequently, the Value
control can be used to adjust the pitch (Tune LED lit), the length (Decay LED lit)
and the extra function (both LEDs lit) of the BD. To exit this mode, press BD. The
same procedure can be used for the other instruments. BO and CL can be adjusted
by pressing the buttons twice (REC + CP/CL + CP/CL, then release both
buttons).
In addition, it is possible to adjust the instruments' level for the pattern. When
deleting a pattern, this level will be used as the default level. To do so, press the
button of the Value control once (left LED lit). Press for example BD
subsequently and adjust the level of the BD by using the Value control. The same
procedure can be used for the other instruments. The levels for BO and CL can be
adjusted with the right LED of the Value control being lit.
Playing instruments directly
In order to trigger the individual instruments directly on the unit, press the button
of the Value control (left LED lit - press twice to select CL and BO, right LED
lit). The instruments can now be triggered using the corresponding buttons.
Programming Songs
This function allows to chain multiple patterns. Chained patterns are played
consecutively in a pre-programmed sequence. Programming is carried out as
follows. Note that the sequencer has to be stopped:
Press and release Song (LED lit), then press and release REC (LED lit).
Programming starts by selecting the first pattern.
Example:
Press and release Bank1, select a pattern by pressing two buttons 1-6 and confirm
by pressing Play/Step. You have now saved the first pattern. The second pattern is
created as follows: Press Bank1, press two buttons 1-6 and confirm by pressing
Play/Step. Continue programming respectively until all patterns are stored. Then
confirm the whole procedure by pressing REC.
Loading and saving songs
Songs are loaded just like patterns. Press Song and two buttons 1-6. To save a
song, press Song, then REC. Release both buttons and press two buttons 1-6. In
order to playback a song, press Song first, followed by Play. Else, the last pattern
will be played.
