7.1.3 Recording Modulation in Step Mode
It is also possible to record modulation in Step mode. This allows you to precisely define value
changes for parameters at specific moments.
The procedure is straightforward:
1. Hold the pad representing the step you want to automate.
While you are holding the pad, the displays turn back to a mode similar to Control mode.
2.
While holding the pad, turn the Knob(s) under the displays with the parameter(s) you
want to record modulation for.
→
The value changes are stored for that particular step.
7.1.4 A Few Notes on Step Mode
Here are a few points worth noting on Step mode:
▪ While you hold SELECT, the lighting behavior of the pads temporarily returns to Control
mode: Each pad represents a particular Sound and lights up when this Sound is played.
This can be helpful to quickly check which Sounds are currently playing or find a particular
Sound for selecting (you then just need to press its pad to select it).
▪ In Step mode all notes are by definition quantized — i.e. they perfectly sit on the beats
and their subdivisions (the steps). See Adjusting the Step Grid below for more on this.
