2. With Buttons 5-8, you can select different quantization settings while playing.
3. If you want to use quantization settings other than the ones currently on display, turn
Knobs 5-8 to select the desired quantization setting.
You can lock Note Repeat by pressing NOTE REPEAT + Button 1.
▪ In Note Repeat all pads will be both velocity and pressure sensitive, allowing for expres-
sive drumrolls or dynamic basslines.
▪ Note Repeat is a really funky way to play percussion and drums live creating build-ups
and breaks.
▪ Note Repeat is also interesting to use with tonal Sounds and you can access it from Piano
Roll/Keyboard mode to create synthesizer-like arpeggios.
6.1.9 Using the Piano Roll/Keyboard
Select your Sound by pressing the pad it is assigned to. Now enter Pad mode by pressing PAD
MODE and lock it by pressing Button 1.
Piano Roll/Keyboard mode on the hardware displays.
Press Button 2 to enter Piano Roll / Keyboard mode. If you hit the pads now, you will hear that
they all play the same Sound, but each with a different pitch. The pitch scale is divided in
semitones, starting with pad 1 as the lowest note going up to pad 16 as the highest note. To
navigate to another octave use Button 7 (octave down) or Button 8 (octave up). You can also
navigate the scale in semitones: use Button 5 (semitone down) and Button 6 (semitone up).
Press PLAY then RECORD and start to record your melody!
Try to experiment with all kinds of Samples in the Piano Roll / Keyboard mode; some rather
boring sounding Samples can be really interesting if you play them very low or very high!
