SLICER mode. LOOP SLICER mode works almost exactly like
SLICE mode, except that instead of the play marker mov-
ing forward in the song at the end of 8 slices, it sets a loop
when the mode is engaged and returns to the beginning of
the loop when the 8th slice is finished playing.

tary loop that repeats as long as the pad is held down, and
also engages its own SLIP mode – so that when the loop is
released playback returns to the buffered position and not
the position of the play marker at the release of the loop.
Press SHIFT + ROLL to enter KEYPLAY mode. Press each
pad to adjust the playing song by an octave. In this mode,
each of the 8 pads represents a note, with 8 notes making
an octave. There are also 8 scales available to the user in

– Major, Minor, Major Pentatonic, Blues, Mixolydian, Chro-
matic, Dorian, and Lydian.

The FILTER effect is a typical dual
pole filter effect. When the knob is at the 12 o'clock posi-
tion, there is no effect at all. Turning the knob to the right
engages a hihg-pass filter, which increases the depth of the
filter as well as the cut off frequency as the knob rotates
clockwise. Turning the knob left engages a low-pass filter,
which increases the depth and cutoff frequency as the knob
rotates counter clockwise.
5 5 . FA S T F X C H O P -
When the FX knob moves clockwise,
the effect is CHOP only. The knob effects the time it takes
for the gate to open and close. Turning the knob coun-
terclockwise produces the exact same gater effect as the
clockwise rotation, but also adds a reverb to the gate effect.
5 6 . FA S T F X N O I S E -
The NOISE effect is a noise genera-
tor. When the knob is at the 12 o'clock position, the effect
is not heard. Turning the knob to the right gradually adds
noise to the channel audio, while also increasing the pitch
of the noise. Turning the knob left does the same, adding
noise and increasing the pitch of the noise – but it also adds
reverb after the noise and channel audio.
