Param 1 — Used to scroll through programs in program mode. In global mode,
used for scrolling through the global menu items.
Param 2 —Used to change banks in program mode and edit the displayed
parameter in edit and global modes. There are eight banks of 128 programs: four
user banks (U1 through U4) and four factory banks (F1 through F4). The user
banks are initially copies of the factory banks, but any program—user or
factory—can be edited and saved to any location in the user banks. The factory
banks are read only and cannot be overwritten.
Note: To copy the factory banks to the user banks, hold C
OMPARE
and
press 4 P
OLE

the user banks and all changes will be lost.
Inc/Yes and Dec/No —Increment or decrement programs in program mode or
values in edit mode and global mode. Also used to confirm or cancel/abort an
operation.
Push It —P
USH
I
T
is a manual trigger. Its behavior depends upon the Push It
Mode, Note, and Velocity settings, which are programmable. Why is a manual
trigger necessary when there are already 44 other manual triggers (that is, the
keys)? It is surprsingly handy, especially in Toggle mode. It can be used to start
and stop the sequencer or to just latch a droning note on. And that frees up both
hands to twist knobs!
Tap Tempo
—With S
HIFT
on, P
USH
I
T
becomes T
AP
T
EMPO
for setting the
internal clock’s BPM.
If P
USH
I
T
is set to Toggle mode and S
EQUENCE
and S
HIFT
are on, tap five times
to set the tempo and toggle the Push It Note on, starting the sequencer. That is, a
4-count to set the tempo and then a tap on beat 1 to start. To stop, turn S
HIFT
off
and press P
USH
I
T
again.
