• Clap: A hand-clap voice. This consists of three pulses triggered in rapid succession
to emulate multiple simultaneous claps.
o Volume: Turn this to set the clap volume.
o Tune: Turn this to tune the pitch of the clap.
o Spread: Turn this to spread out the amount of time between the components of
the clap sound. At its minimum position, the resulting sound will be a single, loud
clap. At its maximum position, this produces a “crunchier” quick delay effect.
o Decay: Turn this to set the decay time of the clap’s amplitude envelope.
• Hi-Hat: The hi-hat voice. Only one sound—open or closed—can sound at a time.
o Volume: Turn this to set the hi-hat’s volume.
o Tune: Turn this to tune the pitch of the hi-hat.
o Decay: Turn this to set the decay time of the hi-hat’s amplitude envelope.
• Disco Toms: A disco-style drum voice with variable pitch.
o Pew/Woop: Set this switch to invert the disco toms’ pitch envelope: “pew” (
,
descending) or “woop” (
, ascending).
o Volume: Turn this to set the disco toms’ volume.
o Tune: Turn this to tune the “body” of the disco toms. This affects mostly the
tone of the drum sound but not the variable pitch affected by the pitch envelope.
o Attack: Turn this to set the volume of the disco toms’ initial attack.
o Decay: Turn this to set the decay time of the disco toms’ amplitude envelope.
o Pitch Env Amt: Turn this to set the slope of the change in the disco toms’
pitch—falling (“pew”) or rising (“woop”).
o Env Decay: Turn this to set how long it takes for the disco toms’ pitch envelope
to fall (“pew”) or rise (“woop”) to its original pitch. (At the beginning of the disco
tom sound, the pitch envelope bends the pitch upward or downward and then
back to the original pitch. This Env Decay knob helps you create a shorter, more
aggressive and percussive sound or a longer, more resonant, descending
“boom” sound.)
9. Mute/Solo: Press and hold this button to mute specific voices in the sequencer’s
playback. Press a pad to mute or unmute its voice. Unmuted pads are lit red, while muted
pads are not lit. This affects sequencer playback only; you can still play the pads to trigger
their respective voices.
Press and hold Shift and then press and hold this button to enter Solo Mode. When in
Solo Mode, you can press a pad to solo its voice (muting all others). Release the button to
return to normal operation. This is a temporary mode, independent of any pad mutes.
10. Velocity: Press this button to edit the velocity of a step. See the Record Step Mode
section of this guide to learn more.
During playback, press this button and Play/Stop at the same time to restart playback
from the very beginning of the pattern.
11. Play/Stop: Press this button to start or stop playback. During playback, press this button
and Velocity at the same time to restart playback from the very beginning of the pattern.
Press and hold Shift and then press this button to send an All Notes Off message.
When Sync is set to Gate, press this button to return to Step 1. See Transport Control to
learn more.
12. Seq Variation: Press this button to select whether you are playing/editing Sequence A,
Sequence B, or Sequence A and B. See the
About Patterns s
ection to learn more.
13. Fill: Press this button to play the fill for the current sequence (A, B, or A and B). See the
About Patterns section to learn more.
