To select multiple events, press and hold Shift and tap each event.
To insert a note event, press Rec or Overdub so the button is lit, and then press a pad. A note event will be
created at the current location using the pad you pressed. You can keep pressing additional pads, which will
continue to insert each press as a single note event in the order you pressed them (similar to a step sequencer).
Press Stop to exit this function.
Note: Depending on the Auto-Advance on Step Record setting, the current time position will either advance each time
you press a pad or remain in place. See the earlier description of Auto-Advance on Step Record to learn about this.
Alternatively, tap Insert at the bottom of the screen to open the Insert Event window. Use the Time Counter fields to
set the location of the event. Use the Type field to set the type of event. Use the Pad field to set the pad where the
note event will be created.
To edit the Pad/Note, Length, or Velocity or numeric Value of an event, tap the value to select it, and then use
the data dial or –/+ buttons to change the value. Alternatively, double-tap it and use the numeric keypad that
appears to enter a value (for Length, Velocity, or numeric Value only).
To edit the Length of an event according to your Timing Correct settings, tap the value to select it, and then
press and hold Shift and use the data dial or –/+ buttons to change the value.
To shift the Pad/Note of an event by pad bank, tap the value to select it, and then press and hold Shift and use
the data dial or –/+ buttons to change the pad bank.
To turn a Solo/Mute event on or off, tap the desired setting on the On/Off switch. Alternatively, tap the On/Off
switch to select it, and then use the data dial or –/+ buttons to change the value.
To move an event, tap it to select it, tap Nudge at the bottom of the screen, and then use the data dial or –/+
buttons to shift the event up or down. Repeat this for other events, or tap Nudge again to turn the feature off.

hold Shift and use the data dial or –/+ buttons to change the value.
