3. While continuing to hold the pad, turn the encoder knob, which now steps through each
color of the Palette (one color per tick of the encoder knob).
4. When the pad displays the desired color, release the pad.
5. To continue with other pad color changes, press and hold another pad and choose the col-
or with the encoder knob in the same way.
6. When you are finished assigning colors, press the REVERSE (COLOR) button to return to
Performance mode.
It is a good idea to be familiar with both ways of assigning colors. There are times when
the Pad Matrix method (using the Pad Matrix as a Color Palette) might be best, especial-
ly when you want to see all of the sixteen possible color choices at once. At other times,
you might want to select the color of one pad in relation to the pads around it. For ex-
ample, you might want to keep all the Samples from a specific song as the same color
because using the encoder knob makes it possible to see the color states of all the pads
on a page while adjusting the color of just a single pad.
4.6.4 Using Quick Color Assign
As with most other F1 modes, there is also a "quick" function which allows you to change pad
colors without first having to enter Color mode.
1. Press and hold both the SHIFT and REVERSE (COLOR) buttons.
2. Continue to hold at least one of the two buttons (if desired, you may now release either
the SHIFT or the REVERSE (COLOR) button).
3. Press the pad you wish to change — the Pad Matrix turns into the Color Palette selector.
4. Press the pad of the desired color and the pads return to the Sample Grid page, with the
selected pad shown in its new color.
5. Release the pad.
6. Repeat the process to continue editing pad colors or release the SHIFT and/or REVERSE
(COLOR) buttons to return to Performance mode.
You can also perform the Quick Color Assign using the encoder knob as described above:
1. Press and hold both the SHIFT and REVERSE (COLOR) buttons.
