MUTE MODE
Mute the sequencer of any of the twelve drum tracks in this mode. Unlike the CHROMATIC mode, it makes no
difference which track is active when this mode is activated. All tracks are accessed simultaneously.

1.

Make sure a pattern is playing.

2.

Press the [MUTE] key to enter MUTE mode.

3.

Press any of the [PADS] to mute the corresponding track. Press again to unmute. The color of the <PADS>
indicate the mute status. Unlit <PADS> are muted. Green <PADS> are audible.

4.

Press and hold [FUNCTION] and then any of the [PADS] in order to preselect a mute, or mute/unmute sev-
eral tracks in one go. Once you release [FUNCTION], the selected mutes will come into effect. Preselected
mutes are shown as <PADS> of sky blue color.

When MUTE mode is active, press [RETRIG] and one of the [PADS] if you wish to activate solo, in
other words mute all tracks except the one selected. Press again to deactivate solo. Keeping
[RETRIG] pressed, multiple tracks may be solo activated/deactivated. Solo activated <PADS> are
of turquoise color.

TEMPO
On the main interface screen, press and hold [ARROW] keys [LEFT] or [RIGHT] to temporarily nudge the
tempo 10% up or down. Release to revert the BPM to its original setting. To change the overall BPM setting,
open the TEMPO screen by pressing the [TEMPO] key.

Use the LEVEL knob to change tempo in integer steps. Pressing the knob while turning it changes the tempo
eight steps at a time. The [ARROW] keys [UP] or [DOWN] change the tempo in fractional steps.

SETTING PARAMETERS
Each drum track has five PARAMETER pages, accessed by pressing [PARAMETER] keys SYNTH, SAMPLE,
FILTER, AMP, and LFO. The parameters found here affect the sound in various ways. When the FX track is
active, the corresponding PARAMETER pages are DELAY, REVERB, DISTORTION, COMPRESSOR and LFO,
accessed by the same keys.

1.

Make sure a pattern is playing.

2.

Press [TRACK] + [PADS] 1-12 to select one of the twelve drum tracks.

3.

To change, for example, the cutoff of the filter, press the FILTER key. The FILTER page will be shown on
the LCD screen. The parameter labelled FRQ changes the cutoff of the filter. Turn DATA ENTRY knob E to
change the parameter value, and hear how the Sound is affected.

4.

Try out the rest of the PARAMETER page parameters to explore a variety of sound shaping possibilities.

5.

To reload the Sound to its original state, press [NO/RELOAD] + [MUTE].

6.

To reload the whole kit to its original state, press [NO/RELOAD] + [FX].

7.

To save kit changes, press [YES/SAVE] + [FX].
