Instant Gratification

Before looking at the operation of P3 in depth, let's take a quick look at how to get a basic pattern
running and making some noise.
To save time explaining the configuration options, connect a MIDI device to P3 which will respond on
MIDI channel 1.
P3 ships with sample patterns in most memory locations, but bank 1 will be empty, and will be
selected at first power-on.
Track 1 will be assigned to MIDI channel 1.

Play Mode

P3 has three different modes of operation, each of which use the front panel controls in a different way.
The default mode at power-on is play mode.
Play mode allows the muting and un-muting of tracks, selection of parts, and access to various control
and configuration options.
These will all be described later.
On the Right Track
All we are concerned about right now is that track 1 is active.
In play mode, the first eight step keys, as shown below, are used primarily for muting and un-muting
tracks:
The LED above track 1 should be green, showing that the track is active.
If the LED is off, the track is muted – in which case, press TRACK key 1 and the LED will turn on.
The status of the other tracks doesn't matter for now.
