Pressing [TRACK] + [ENTER/YES] will also re-arm all one shot recorder trigs of a track.
The one shot recorder trigs will keep re-arming for as long as the key combination is held.
Pressing [TRACK] + [EXIT/NO] will disarm all one shot recorder trigs of a track. These
operations can be performed even if GRID RECORDING mode is not active. Nor do the
RECORDING SETUP menus or the TRACK TRIG EDIT menu have to be open.
While in GRID RECORDING mode and no particular menu is open, all one shot sample
trigs of the active track will be re-armed when pressing either [ENTER/YES] or [FUNC-
TION] + [ENTER/YES]. The text “ARM TRK” will be visible. Pressing either [EXIT/NO] or
[FUNCTION] + [EXIT/NO] will disarm one shot sample trigs of the active track. The text
“DISARM TRK” will be visible. Note that one shot recorder trigs will not be affected. Arming
and disarming by simply pressing [ENTER/YES] and [EXIT/NO] can be disabled in the
PERSONALIZE menu. Read more on page 32.
If GRID RECORDING mode is not active, all one shot trigs, both recorder and sample vari-
ants, of all tracks will be re-armed when pressing either [ENTER/YES] or [FUNCTION] +
[ENTER/YES]. The text “ARM ALL” will be visible. Arming one shot trigs in this way can be
done while the sequencer is running. Similarly, pressing either [EXIT/NO] or [FUNCTION]
+ [EXIT/NO] can be used to disarm all one shots trigs. Arming and disarming by simply
pressing [ENTER/YES] and [EXIT/NO] can be disabled in the PERSONALIZE menu. Read
more on page 32.
• In the PROJECT menu you can disable the arm/disarm functionality when press-
ing [ENTER/YES] or [EXIT/NO]. Read more on page 32.
SWING TRIGS
Swing trigs affect the timing of the sample trigs. They are indicated by green <TRIG>
LEDs. Swing trigs are entered in the TRACK TRIG EDIT menu, which is covered in section
“TRACK TRIG EDIT MENU” on page 87.
SLIDE TRIGS
Slide trigs can make the parameter values of a sample trig slide to the parameter values of
the subsequent sample trig. They are indicated by green <TRIG> LEDs. Slide trigs are
entered in the TRACK TRIG EDIT menu, which is covered in section “TRACK TRIG EDIT
MENU” on page 87. Slide trigs are not available to the MIDI tracks.
RECORDER TRIGS
Recorder trigs are used to initiate track recorder sampling. They are indicated by red
<TRIG> LEDs. Read more about track recorder trigs in section “TRACK RECORDERS
AND PICKUP MACHINES” on page 47.
PARAMETER LOCKS
Parameter locks is a powerful feature that allows every trig to have its own unique parame-
ter values. All sample trigs of a track could for example have different pitch or volume set-
tings. Parameter locks can be applied to sample trigs, trigless trigs, trigless locks and one
shot trigs. All parameter locks of a trig can either be removed by performing a CLEAR
TRIG LOCKS command, covered on page 87, or by simply removing the trig and entering it
again.
