Record Mode

After selecting the suitable Record Mode – Step Record Mode in this case – we will start

Programming a Pattern

First, please select an empty pattern (please see page 10). Then let‘s go:

Select instrument and set steps:

• Hold Rec/ManTrg button + press Instrument button.

This enables Record Mode and selects the desired instrument/track.

The instrument/track LED lights up green.

• Press Step buttons to set steps. Their LEDs light up red. Hitting a selected step

again, disables the step. If you set a step corresponding with the instrument/track

button (green LED), the step lights up orange. So you can still identify the selected

instrument.

• To enable another instrument/track, please hold Rec/ManTrg again and press

another instrument button.

Individual sound parameter settings per step

Enhance your pattern with individual sound parameter setting per step.

This feature is not available in Manual Mode. Here, all steps have identical

soundsettings, corresponding with the current knob settings. Individual ac-

cent levels and ams/rolls can be programmed. Please see below.

We‘ll describe now in detail, how to programm individual sound settings per step in Step-

or Jam Mode:

Step selection and step programming:

We are currently watching a track with several active steps (red LEDs), e.g.

BD 1 (green BD 1 LED).

• Hold Select + press step(s)(ifnotallreadyselected).ThestepLED(s)ash(es).

• Turn parameter knob(s) of the selected instrument (here BD1).

• Press Selecttoconrmparameterchanges(stepLED(s)lightupcontinously

again).

• To create different sound settings on other steps, simply repeat the procedure.

To save the settings permanently, save the edited pattern (please see page 23).

Copy steps

To keep things fast and easy, you may copy the settings of one step to other steps:

• Hold Select + press a step. The sound setting of this step is copied.

• Set more steps. The new steps will have the same sound settings.

Using the hidden sound parameter

The instruments BD 1, Toms/Congas as well as Cowbell offer one more sound parameter

that can only be accessed in Step/Jam-Record Mode.

Is Record mode enabled and one of the instruments BD 1, Toms/Congas or Cowbell is

selected,theSoundLEDashes.Tochangetheparametervalue:
