6. Step Indicators: These LEDs will light up to indicate various states:

• In Record Step Mode, they show which steps contain a note (i.e., which Step Switches

are active). See Record Step Mode to learn more.

• While holding down the Velocity button in Record Step Mode, their colors show the

velocity of each step. See Record Step Mode to learn more.

• While selecting a pattern, the red Step Indicator shows which pattern is currently

selected. See About Patterns to learn more.

• In Record Performance Mode or Record Off Mode, they show the current position in

the Sequence.

7. Pads: Press these pads to perform the following functions:

• In Record Step Mode, press a pad to show (and edit) that voice in the Step

Switches. See Record Step Mode to learn more.

• In Record Performance Mode, press the pads to record their sounds in the current

Sequence in real time. See Record Performance Mode to learn more.

• In Record Off Mode, press the pads to play their sounds without recording them.

8. Voice Controls: Use these controls to adjust the sounds of their respective voices.

• Kick Drum: The kick drum voice.

o Volume: Turn this to set the kick drum’s volume.

o Tune: Turn this to tune the pitch of the kick drum.

o Pitch Envelope: Turn this to set how long it takes for the kick drum oscillator to

return to its original pitch. (At the beginning of the kick drum sound, the pitch

envelope bends the pitch upward and then back down to the original pitch. This

Pitch Envelope knob helps you create a shorter, more aggressive and

percussive sound or a longer, more resonant, descending “boom” sound.)

o Decay: Turn this to set the decay time of the kick drum’s amplitude envelope.

• Snare Drum: The snare drum voice.

o Volume: Turn this to set the snare drum’s volume.

o Tune: Turn this to tune the “body” of the snare drum. This affects mostly the

tone of the drum sound but not the noise (the “snare” sound).

o Filter: Turn this to set the cutoff frequency of the snare drum’s high-pass filter.

o Decay: Turn this to set the decay time of the snare drum’s amplitude envelope.
