KIT MENU

In the KIT menu commands relating to kits are found, most importantly kit save and load. Open the menu by
pressing [FUNCTION] + [KEYBOARD C1]. Use the [UP] and [DOWN] arrow keys to move between the com-
mands. Press [YES/SAVE] to confirm your selection. Exit the menu by pressing [NO/RELOAD].

RELOAD KIT will reload the either the active kit, reverting it to its saved status, or all kits. Using the [LEFT] and
[RIGHT] keys selects whether only the active kit or all kits will be reloaded. [NO/RELOAD] + [KEYBOARD C1]
offers a short cut to reloading the active kit.

LOAD KIT opens a menu where one of the up to 128 saved kits can be loaded. When this menu is opened the
kit list will appear. The active kit is indicated by inverted graphics. Select the kit to be loaded by using the
[ARROW] keys or the LEVEL knob. [LEFT]/[RIGHT] will quickly scroll between the menu pages. Once a kit has
been selected, press [YES/SAVE] to load it. The loaded kit will be linked to the active pattern. Loading the active
kit will reload it.

SAVE KIT is where all the current, kit related, settings can be saved as a kit. The saved kit will be linked to the
active pattern. [YES/SAVE] + [KEYBOARD C1] offers a short cut to this command.
When this menu is opened the kit list will appear. The active kit is indicated by inverted graphics. Select the slot
to which the kit will be saved by using the [ARROW] keys or the LEVEL knob. Press [YES/SAVE] to save to the
selected slot. The NAMING menu, covered on page 10, will appear.
CLEAR KIT will clear the content of the currently loaded kit, basically initializing it. When selecting this option a
prompt will appear. Press [YES/SAVE] to clear the kit or [NO/RELOAD] to cancel the operation. Note that no kit
information will be permanently lost until the kit is saved to the same kit slot it was loaded from.
PERFORMANCE opens the PERFORMANCE SETUP menu, covered on page 16.
POLY CONFIG opens the POLYPHONY CONFIGURATION menu. See page 18.

Copy, clear and paste operations are available in the LOAD KIT, SAVE KIT and PERFORMANCE
SETUP menus.

Press and turn the LEVEL knob to increase scrolling speed in the LOAD KIT and SAVE KIT menus.

Once you have assembled a kit you like, you are advised to save it.

Kits not used by any patterns are indicated by an asterisk after the kit name.

PERFORMANCE MODE

The PERFORMANCE mode makes it possible to control five track parameters, that can be chosen from any
track, at the same time by turning a single DATA ENTRY knob. This is called a performance macro. Track mut-
ing and an overview of all synth and FX track levels are available in this mode as well. PERFORMANCE mode
settings are saved as a part of a kit.
