board mode) or Note Repeat (Group mode). If you press PLAY on your controller, the
playback starts immediately and the swing cycle is reset.
5.6 Using Lock Snapshots
Lock allows you to create up to sixty-four snapshots spread across four banks of sixteen pads
providing a total of up to sixty-four snapshots. Each snapshot contains every modulatable pa-
rameter in your Project, including your Solo and Mute settings. Once created, you can use Ex-
tended Lock to switch between these instantly, or morph between them synchronized to the
tempo of your Project. Lock snapshots are a powerful tool for extensive modulations, but also
very useful to compare mixes, or to switch up snapshots during a live performance.
The Lock button is used to create and recall a single snapshot, and when used in addition with
Extended Lock, snapshots can be managed; allowing you to update them, clear unwanted
snapshots, and organize them exactly the way you want.
5.6.1 Creating a Lock Snapshot
Use the Lock button to capture, update or recall a single Lock snapshot.
When a snapshot is created it also updates the snapshot in focus within Extended Lock.
For more information on Extended Lock please read ↑5.6.2, Using Extended Lock.
To create a Lock snapshot:
1. Press the CHANNEL or PLUG-IN button.
2. Press Button 4 LOCK to take a snapshot.
⇨ The LOCK button is highlighted to indicate a single snapshot has been taken. You are now
free to change parameters or Mute and Solo settings, safe in the knowledge you can recall
your snapshot.
3. Press Button 4 LOCK to recall the snapshot.
