Like the MUTE mode, the active state of the CHROMATIC mode (the portion of the chromatic keyboard cur-
rently visible on the pads) is not stored per kit or pattern but stays in the state to which it was set until it is
changed.
SCENE MODE
The SCENE mode turns the twelve pads into instant sound shifters. Several parameters from any track can be
changed by pressing a single pad. A scene is a fixed set of parameter values, ready to be activated or deacti-
vated. To activate the SCENE mode, press the [SCENE] key. Press again to deactivate.
By carefully assigning a set of parameter values, you can prepare a scene that will make the same kit sound
drastically (or subtly) different whenever activated. After exiting SCENE mode, the LED light atop the [SCENE]
key will stay lit, half-bright red, if any of the scenes are active. Unlike the MUTE or CHROMATIC mode, SCENE
mode settings are stored to the active kit. See “SCENE MODE” on page 21 for more details.
PERFORMANCE MODE
Press the [PERFORMANCE] key to enter PERFORMANCE mode. This mode enables the [PADS] to control
several PARAMETER page parameters at once. Change many dimensions of one or more drum track Sounds
at the touch of a single pad. A pad in this mode, prepared with one or many additive layers of parameter modu-
lation, is called a performance macro. While setting up a performance macro is done in a similar way as setting
up a scene, there is a major difference in the way these two modes operate. A scene is a static, ON/OFF com-
mand of an array of parameters set to specific values. A performance macro engages the assigned parameters
in a dynamic way. When using a performance macro, the parameters will be modulated relative to the pressure
applied to the pad.
To exit PERFORMANCE mode, press [PERFORMANCE] key again. PERFORMANCE mode settings are
stored as part of a kit. See “PERFORMANCE MODE” on page 22 to find out more about this mode.
