While you're in Live mode, you can always turn the VALUE dial to select specific sounds from the 100 preset/100 user
locations. The advantages of storing the sounds, however, are that you can get to them quickly and predictably, and
without any loading time. Here's how to store your own sounds in Live mode:
Go to the Live mode location where you want to save (e.g. A-1, C-2, etc.)
Turn the VALUE dial to select the sound you want to save.
Press the WRITE button twice.
Jam Along
Your Wavedrum comes with 100 rhythm loops for instant accompaniment, covering a wide variety of styles.
Hold down the BANK/MODE button, and press button 4 to enter Global mode.
Press button 3, then use the VALUE knob to select a loop, from 0 to 100.
Press button 4 to start and stop the selected loop.
The Wavedrum also has an AUX IN connection, which allows you to connect any music player, or any other line-level
audio source (such as another Wavedrum). You can adjust and save the input level.
Hold down the BANK/MODE button, and press button 4 to enter Global mode.
Press the BANK/MODE button several times until the display reads "Com" (Common settings).
Press button 2. The display will briefly show "A.In" (AUX IN), and then the input level.
Turn the VALUE knob to adjust the Wavedrum's mix level.
Note: Press the WRITE button twice to save the Global settings.

showing "tun."
