3. Record parameter locks by changing the corresponding DATA ENTRY knob while live
recording. When changing a parameter, the parameter lock will be set on the next note
played on the track. If a parameter is not changed between two drum trigs no parameter
lock will be made.
4. To remove specific parameter locks, press and hold [EXIT/NO] and a DATA ENTRY
knob. All parameter locks will be removed for that specific parameter and track on the
steps of the track that is played.
• It is often a good idea to edit and fine tune the parameter locks in GRID RECORD-
ING mode, after recording them in LIVE RECORDING mode.
PARAMETER LOCK SLIDE
The default behaviour for parameter locks is that the value changes exactly when the step
is played and not in between. By using slides, you can have the value of a parameter
locked on one step slide gradually to the value on the next. This behaviour is controlled by
the slide pattern or the slide tracks.
For a parameter to slide it needs to be parameter locked at two separate steps. If a slide
trig is set to the same step as there is a parameter lock, the parameter will slide to the next
parameter locked value. The speed of the slide is relative to the current tempo and the
slide is completed when the next position with a drum trig is reached.
To set slide trigs, follow the instructions below.
1. Hold [FUNCTION] while pressing [D/H] to open the SLIDE window.
2. Use the [TRIG] keys to select the steps for which parameter locks will slide to their next
locked value.
To set individual swing tracks, just follow the instructions below.
1. Hold [FUNCTION] while pressing [D/H] to open the SLIDE window.
2. Slide is per default set to ALL which will affect the whole pattern. Press the [RIGHT]
arrow key to be able to set individual slide tracks.
