Quick Start Guide
Performance Pads
The performance pads have four different modes you can select. The four modes
are; SLICE, SMPL, CUE and LOOP.
• SLICE Mode: A specied Slicer range (or domain) is divided into eight equal
sections, and these eight sliced sections are assigned to the respective
performance pads. Pressing SLICE once for the rst mode, is a shifting Slicer
Domain. Pressing SLICE twice, for the second mode is a xed Slicer Domain
or “slicer loop”.
• SMPL Mode: Pads 1-6 Trigger Samples loaded in your Sample Banks. Press
and hold SMPL for 1 second or more to activate Sampler Velocity mode.
Triggering the pads will play the loaded samples acording to the velocity to
which the pads are struck. Holding SHIFT while pressing a pad will load the
highlighted track in the library to that associated sample slot.
• CUE Mode: When pressing pads 1-8 you can add up to 8 Cue Points.
Holding SHIFT and pressing pads 1-8 will delete the Cue Points.
• LOOP Mode: Pressing LOOP once for the rst mode, is Manual Looping.
Pressing LOOP twice for the second mode enables Loop Roll Mode. Pressing
pads 1-8 will enable a loop roll for the time the pad is pressed, the loop will
exit once the pad is released. See the looping table for more infomation.
The SMPL, CUE and LOOP modes are able to be activated together in Dual
Mode. You can enable Dual Mode, by pressing two of these Performance Mode
buttons at the same time. This splits the 8 performance pads into two lots of 4,
allowing you to control two modes on the 8 pads.
For example: If you press CUE + LOOP Performance Mode buttons together, the
top 4 performance pads will act as Hot Cues, and the bottom 4 pads will act as
the rst 4 Loop slots. This allows you the versitility of having two performance
modes active at the same time.
