Tutorial 4: Live Pads and Chain Play mode
6. [Alt]/[Option]-click along the bottom of pad A and name
it “Intro”.
7. Let’s also name pad B “Verse”, pad C “Chorus”, and
pad D “Extro”.
8. Click on the “Stop” pad to stop playback.
9. Now you can use the pads to play live. Just click on a
pad to play it and click on the pad you want to play next to
queue it up.
Experiment with the Jump modes and have fun creating
different arrangements with your project.
Ö Using remote controllers together with this mode allows
for even more flexibility, see “Remote-controlling Sequel”
on page 85.
Chain Play Mode
When using the “Live pads” mode, you have to physically
click each pad as you would like it to be played. This is
great for a more spontaneous performance, but what if
you want things planned out a little more? That’s where
“Chain Play” mode really comes in handy.
1. Change the pad mode to “Chain Play” mode. This is
represented by three small pads with an arrow underneath.
2. Click on “Pad A”. Notice that an “A” appears in the
“Current Chain” display.
3. Add B, C, and D to the Current Chain display.
You can also drag parts from the Arranger track onto the current chain.
4. Press the space bar on your computer keyboard to
start playback. Each Arranger part will play in the se-
quence found in the “Current Chain” display.
Right now the “Current Chain” is playing back our project
in its original arrangement, so let’s change things a bit.
5. Click on the “Play” button to stop playback.
6. Click the “Reset” button to clear the “Current Chain”
display.
You can also move the insert cursor in the “Current Chain” and then
press [Delete] or [Backspace] until the chain is empty.
7. Use the pads to enter a pattern. We’ll use A, B, C, C,
B, C, C, D.
Feel free to enter any pattern you like!
8. Click “Play” in the Pilot Zone to start playback.
9. Activate the Cycle button.
If Cycle is activated, the Current Chain will loop when it gets to the end.
If Cycle is off, playback will stop when it reaches the end.
• Click and drag to change the order of the parts in the
current chain.
• To delete a part, you can use [Backspace] or [Delete]
on your computer keyboard. Note that the cursor must be
placed at the position where you want the part deleted.
