9.2.6. Transport section
The Transport section works the same way in Control Mode as it does in the other modes,
unless instructed otherwise by the MIDI Control Center.
The functions of the Transport section are described in the
section of the
chapter.
9.2.7. Disabled features
There are several features that are disabled in Control Mode:
• Current Track (both buttons)
• LST STEP button
• Transposing sequences from the pads
• Octave +/- buttons
• Encoder scale selection (SHIFT + pads 9-16)
• Time divisions (SHIFT + pads 1-8)
9.3. Selecting the User Channel
The MIDI Control Center allows you to assign each encoder, pad, and Step button to the
MIDI channel of your choice. This is described fully in the
section
of the
chapter.
But it's important to know there are actually 17 options for each assignable control: MIDI
Channels 1-16 and User. The first 16 options will "hardwire" that control to a particular MIDI
Channel. But the User option allows you to specify that a control will ‘float’ to a new channel
when you change the User channel in Control Mode.
Here's how to change the User channel:
• Select Control Mode.
• Press and hold the CHAN button.
• Press one of the Step buttons.
When the CHAN button is pressed you will see four different colors on the Step buttons: one
for each of the three sequencers and one for the User channel.
The color-coding means this:
Output channel
color
Control Mode (i.e., the User channel)

Sequencer 1

Sequencer 2
