the second. The swing pattern can be changed using the [TRIG] keys, but for normal
rhythm styles the default pattern is better left as it is.
PATTERN LIVE RECORDING
1. The LIVE RECORDING mode of a pattern allows you to play the sounds in the kit while
the pattern is playing. To start this mode, hold [RECORD] and then press [PLAY].
2. You can now “play” all the machines in the kit directly on the [TRIG] keys. All played
notes will be quantised to 16th notes, and you will be able to hear them the next time the
pattern starts all over.
3. The pattern will loop until you press the [STOP] key.
PARAMETER LOCKS
1. Press the [CLASSIC/EXTENDED] key until the <EXTENDED> LED is lit. You are now in
extended mode. The difference between CLASSSIC and EXTENDED mode will be
explained on page 35.
2. Now it is possible to lock parameters to a specific note in the pattern. In GRID RECORD-
ING mode, hold a [TRIG] key and then tweak a parameter. The parameter adjusted will
be inverted on the LCD screen to indicate that it now is locked to the value you have set.
The corresponding <TRIG> LED will flash rapidly to indicate that a parameter is locked
for that step.
3. In LIVE RECORDING mode, you can lock parameters by tweaking the knobs while
recording.
4. Parameters can be locked for several tracks simultaneously. To lock parameters for a
new track, just repeat the sequence from step 2 above.
5. To remove a lock, enter grid edit mode and press the [TRIG] key on the locked note
twice. This removes the lock and restores the note to be triggered. You can also hold the
[TRIG] key while clicking the DATA ENTRY knob corresponding to locked parameter.
You will see that the inversion disappears and that the parameter lock is removed.
