SAMPLERS SCREEN
Beat Sequencer

In the Beat Sequencer screen, you can edit rhythmic patterns with samples on
the beat grid. The vertical axis corresponds to each sample, and the horizontal
axis corresponded to the beat positions. The Beat Sequencer is formatted as
4 beats divided into 16 rows.
You can operate the Beat Sequencer with both the touchscreen interface and
the FUNCTION knob.
Touch Panel Operation
• Touching the Cell (1): Edits the beat pattern.
• Sliding the Volume Slider (2): Changes the volume level of the Beat
Sequencer. The volume change is also applied to the Musical Pad and the
Synthesizer Keyboard.

• Sliding the BPM Slider (3): Changes the tempo of the Beat Sequencer.
You can change the BPM only if both tracks (i.e., Track-A and Track-B) are
paused. Otherwise, the Beat Sequencer tempo (BPM) is synchronized
to the track currently being played with the larger volume. The volume
is controlled by the Equalizer screen and the crossfader position. If you
activate the "Sync Beat Sequencer to Music" option in the Options screen,
then the beat positions are also synchronized.
Function Knob Operation
• Rotating the FUNCTION Knob: Changes the position of the highlight
bar located in the Command Bar (4). Pressing the FUNCTION knob will
activate the selected command.
The following is a diagram of the functions in the Command Bar:
