Utility controls
Mute/Solo
These mute/solo the Pad.
Pad name
[CTRL]-click on this box in order to name the layer. When a
sample is loaded onto the layer, the Pad name is updated with
the sample’s filename.
Lock
This locks the Pad so that no new samples can be dragged
onto the Pad’s layers, across all Engines. It is the same lock
function as in the Pattern view: it also prevents any newly-
loaded Pattern data from affecting any of the Pad’s events in
its Patterns. You can also [ALT]-click the Lock button in order
to lock all other Pad types – in other words, [ALT]-click on a
Kick Pad layer to lock all Snare, Hihat and Perc Pads on all
Engines.
Pad Edit toggle
This button exits back to the Pattern view (it has exactly the
same effect as the large OK button).
Move left/right
These are for shifting the Pad lane backwards and forwards by
one step at a time. You can [ALT]-click these buttons in order to
move all lanes in the Pattern at the same time.
Cut
This function allows you to define the Pad’s ‘Cut’ functionality
– i.e., the ability to stop the Pad’s sound output while it is play-
ing with a subsequent event. Clicking on the Cut box cycles
through the following settings:
• No Cut
No Cut is the default value. In this mode, the Pad will not be
cut by anything.
• Itself
In this mode, the Pad will be cut when it is triggered again.
• By Color
This mode results in the Pad being cut by all Pads in its colour
group in the Engine, including itself. For example, setting the
Cut parameter to ‘By Color’ (yellow) on a hihat Pad can result
in hihat-style choke effects.
