PARAMETER SLIDE
The PARAMETER SLIDE menu makes it possible for the parameter values of two separate note trigs or trigless
locks of a track to slide between each other. Open the menu by pressing [FUNCTION] + [BANK D/H]. When
this menu is active and [TRIG] keys are pressed, slide trigs will be placed on the sequencer.
For a parameter value to slide between two trigs, it needs to be locked on one of the trigs. A locked parameter
value will slide to the unlocked value and vice versa. To make the parameter value slide, place a slide trig on the
same sequencer step as the trig whose parameters you want to slide. The speed of the slide is relative to the
current tempo and the slide is completed when the next trig is reached. Several parameter values can slide at
the same time.
• Parameter slides can be quickly added to note trigs or trigless locks. Keep the note trig or trigless
lock pressed and press [BANK D/H]. A parameter slide trig will automatically be placed on the
same sequencer step as the note trig/trigless lock.
• Press a note trig/trigless lock to quickly see if a parameter slide trig is placed on the same
sequencer step as the trig. If that is the case, the <BANK D/H> LED will light up.
SWING
Sets the swing of the pattern, allowing for a different rhythmic groove. Access this menu by pressing [FUNC-
TION] + [PATTERN].
TRACK TRANSPOSE
Tracks can be transposed up or down and the transpose function can be locked for one handed operation. The
tracks that will be affected by the transpose functionality are set in the NOTES SETUP menu. Read more in sec-
tion “NOTES SETUP” on page 36. A quick command for this also exists. Press [TRANSPOSE] + [TRACK] to
activate or deactivate the transpose functionality for the tracks. When pressing and holding the [TRANSPOSE]
key, lit <TRACK> LEDs indicate which tracks are transpose activated.
To transpose, press and hold [TRANSPOSE] and press a key on the KEYBOARD. Select a different octave
range to transpose to by pressing [OCTAVE UP] or [OCTAVE DOWN]. After having performed a transpose, a
little pop-up window will show how many semitones the transpose consists of.
The notes of the tracks are transposed according the TRK KEY NOTE and TRK KEY SCALE settings, found in
the NOTES SETUP menu covered on page 36. The transpose is an offset to the set key note, meaning all note
trigs retain their original note values after having been transposed. If for example the key note is set to a C5 and
F5 is pressed on the KEYBOARD, the transpose activated tracks will be transposed +5 semitones.
The transpose offset can be applied permanently as well. After performing a transpose, press [TRANSPOSE] +
[YES/SAVE]. The value of the transposed note trigs will be permanently altered.
