The pads for the steps which have notes associated with them will be illuminated bright blue.
One step pad will ash white/blue: this shows where the pattern had reached when it was
stopped. This is shown in the rst diagram below. However, when you press Play again, the
pattern will always restart from Step 1.

(HOLD)
If a bright blue step pad (i.e., one corresponding to a synth note) is pressed and held, it
illuminates red, the note at that step will sound, and the performance pad corresponding to the
note will also illuminate red. The pad stays red and the note sounds for as long as the step pad
is held down.
The above description holds good as long as the currently selected octave is the same as
that used to record the note. (Remember that although you can’t change the octave of a note
once it’s been recorded, you can shift the octave of the performance pads up or down when a
pattern isn’t playing.) If you press a brightly-lit step pad but no performance pad illuminates red,
it means that the note you are hearing – the one recorded for that step – lies in another octave.
Use the Oct J or Oct K buttons
12
to move to another octave to nd where the note is: a
performance pad (or pads) will light red when you hit the right octave. You can hold the step
pad down while pressing the Octave buttons to do this. With a bit of listening practice, you’ll be
able to guess the octave a note lies in relative to the one the performance pads are currently
set to.
Deleting notes
If a note is incorrect, you can easily delete it by pressing the step pad for the unwanted note
(both the step pad and the assigned performance pad will then light red) and then press the
performance pad. The note is deleted and performance pad will resume the colour of the other
(unplayed) notes according to the oscillator being displayed – purple or green.
