2. Press the dim lit pad corresponding to the cell of the desired Section on the right display.
→ The desired Section is selected.
Upon your selection, the following happens:
▪ The Pattern Editor displays the Pattern corresponding to the focused Group in this Section.
If there is no Pattern for the focused Group in the Section you have just selected, the Pat-
tern Editor is empty.
▪ If you have selected the Section by pressing a pad, or if you have selected a Section out-
side the current Loop Range:
◦ The Loop Range is set to the selected Section — see section Selecting a Loop Range.
◦ If playback is off the playhead immediately jumps to the beginning of the selected
Section. If playback is on the playhead jumps according to the Perform Grid settings
— see section Jumping to Other Scenes.
▪ If you have selected a Section within the current Loop Range via the Page buttons, the
Loop Range and the playback position stay untouched.
Selecting Sections and Section Banks on the Controller
Selecting a Section Bank
To select a Section located in another Section bank than the one currently selected, you fist
need to select that other Section bank:
1. Press SHIFT + SCENE to enter Arranger view.
2. Press and hold SCENE to enter Scene mode (or pin it by pressing SCENE + CONTROL).
3. Press SHIFT + Left/Right Arrow button to select the previous/next Section bank, respec-
tively.
If the last Section bank is selected and not empty, pressing SHIFT + Right Arrow button
