presses to make different samples play back on the same track. Trigged samples will then
be entered as sample locks on the active track.
The sample slots are divided in 4 rows and each row represents 16 sample slots. Sample
slots containing samples are indicated by small white squares. Sample slots not containing
any samples are greyed out. Press the [PATTERN PAGE] to move between the rows. If
samples are loaded to slot 65 or higher, an additional page containing four new rows will be
accessed once the [PATTERN PAGE] key has been pressed a sufficient amount of times.
SLICES
If a sample contains slices, this mode can be used to trigger the individual slices. While in
LIVE RECORDING mode it is possible to real-time record [TRIG] key presses to re-
arrange sliced loops. The STRT parameter will then be locked accordingly.
The slices are divided in 4 pages, each page containing 16 slices. Available slices are indi-
cated by white squares. Toggle between the pages by pressing the [PATTERN PAGE] key.
Note that the SLIC parameter of the PLAYBACK SETUP page need to be set to ON for
individual slices to be trigged. If SLIC is set to OFF, no slices will be trigged. Instead the
sample of the active track will be trigged and the [TRIG] keys will affect the STRT value of
the sample. Each [TRIG] key will start the sample from a different position. When pressing
the first [TRIG] key of the first page the sample will be trigged as if STRT was set to 0. The
STRT value then increases in increments of 2 for the consecutive [TRIG] keys.
QUICK MUTE
This mode works like the mute settings in the MIXER menu. The difference is that the vari-
ous track parameters are still visible while in this mode.
The eight leftmost [TRIG] keys mute the audio tracks, the eight rightmost [TRIG] keys
mute the MIDI tracks. For detailed mute and solo functionality, see “MIXER MENU” on
page 44.
