1.2.1. Transport/Shift buttons
The Transport buttons control the internal sequencers and external MIDI devices using MIDI
Machine Control. But they also can send other MIDI messages to your DAW, which is handy
if your DAW does not respond to MMC commands. Use our MIDI Control Center software to
make any necessary changes.
The function of the Record and Stop buttons is obvious. But the Play button also serves as a
Pause/Continue button. So you can pause a sequence in mid-stream, make an adjustment,
and then press Play again to resume the sequence.
The SHIFT button allows you to access the secondary functions of the current mode, such
as the playback direction for one of the sequencers.
