[DO IT] accesses the following parameters:
Orig ♪
Entry for the original BPM. If the BPM is unknown, use 100.
New ♪
Entry for the new BPM.
Selects one of the preset timestretch algorithms. For more information on

timestretch presets, see page XXX.
Changes the emphasis of the selected preset. A positive value will help
Adjust
improve high frequency and percussive sounds while a negative value will
help improve bass sounds.
Copies the selected sample. Pressing [DO IT] accesses the following parameters:
Set a new name for the new sample here. For more information on naming,
Name
see page XXX
Assign to pad
Chooses a pad for the new sample to play from. Default is OFF.
Deletes the selected sample.
Accessible by pressing [MODE] + [PAD 6] (Program). The following parameters can be selected
by scrolling the parameter directly.
NOTE: For most parameters, individual Pads and Layers can be selected.
Selects a program to be edited.
Selects which pad bank is played when the pads are hit. Selectable directly by
Pad Bank
pressing one of the four PAD BANK buttons. This field is present on all
PROGRAM pages.
Determines which sample is assigned to each pad. For this parameter, Pads and
Layers can be set individually..
Sample
Selects one of the samples in memory to be assigned to the selected pad.
Sets the playback volume of sample. For this parameter, Pads and Layers can be set individually..
Level
Sets the volume playback level for the selected layer.
Pan
Sets the stereo position of the selected layer.
Allows the tuning of a specific pad in Cents and semitones. For this
parameter, Pads and Layers can be set individually..
Determines the playback pitch of the selected pad. Can be set in Cents and
tune
Semitones.
Selects how a sample will be played. For this parameter, Pads and Layers can
be set individually.
Selects whether a sample will play to completion when the pad is hit (One
Mode
shot), or loop for as long as the pad is held (Note on).
Specifies a velocity range a sample will play in. For this parameter, Pads and Layers can be set
individually.
Range
Sets the high and low range velocity range for the selected pad and layer.
2 Pole lowpass filter used for affecting the timbre of samples assigned to the selected pad. For this
parameter, Pads can be set individually.
Determines the point where the selected sample's sound will be affected.
Frequency
Lower ranges remove treble and darken the sound.
Resonance
Emphasizes the frequency cutoff point.
Controls how quickly a sample will rise to full volume. For this parameter, Pads can be set
individually.
Controls how quickly a sample will fade out once the pad is released. For this parameter, Pads can
be set individually.
Determines how the decay parameter will respond:

Determines whether the sample will play monophonically or polyphonically. For this parameter,
Pads can be set individually.
Sets whether this pads sound will stop when another pad assigned to the mute group is hit. For this
parameter, Pads can be set individually.
Sets which midi note the selected pad will be assigned to. Each pad can be selected individually.
Note
Sets the note the selected pad will be assigned to.

Allows the selected program to be renamed.
Decay will begin right after the attack time set in the 'Attack' field.
Start point be set so that fade out will end at the sample's end point.
