Pad 6 to enable/disable Quantize Loop mode. When enabled, the Loop In point of a Loop will be snapped to the nearest beat
Pad 7 and 8 to move the loop (if enabled) forward/backwards by the amount of the size of the loop.

Use the PARAMETER <> buttons to half/double the size of the Loop

This mode offers the ability to save up to 8 Loops to individual Loop Slots.

Press any Pad to save the current Loop at the current track’s position (of the selected size in beats) to the relative slot. Hold the same Pad down for more than 1 second to delete the Saved Loop.

When a Loop slot is saved, press the corresponding Pad to load (prepare) the Saved Loop.
If the track’s position is before the Saved Loop point, the loop will be enabled but the track will not jump to that position (Prepare status). Use the same Pad to disable the Loop.

Hold SHIFT down and then press one of the lower Pads to load the Saved Loop, but also jump to that position.

Use the PARAMETER < and > buttons to half and double the size of the triggered Loop.

While the Sampler mode is selected, press the Sampler mode button down for at least 2 seconds to set the Pads to Sampler Velocity mode. The Led of the Sampler mode button will lit purple to indicate the velocity mode. On this mode the Pads trigger the same time, but their Volume will depend on the initial pressure when triggered.

Hold SHIFT down and then press the Sampler mode button down for at least 2 seconds to set the Pads to Sampler After Touch Velocity mode. The Led of the Sampler mode button will lit blue to indicate the velocity mode. On this mode the Pads trigger the same time, but their Volume will depend on the continuous pressure.


Tip: To return all samples to their maximum values after the Velocity mode is used, select the next or previous available bank and then select the current again.

The eight Pads represent eight sequential beats/Slices in the Beat Grid. The playing Slice is represented by the currently green lit pad. The green light will "move through the Pads " as it progresses through each eight-Slice phrase. Press a pad to repeat that Slice (hold it down if you want to keep looping it). Once the Pad is released the track will continue to play from the position it would have been if the pad was never pressed.

Hold SHIFT button down and then use the same Pads to use the Slicer in Hold mode. In this mode, the slices are memorized (using the last triggered ones)

Use the PARAMETER < and > buttons to adjust the length of the Loop applied to the slice. Press SHIFT and then use the same PARAMETERS < and > buttons to adjust the step of the Slices.
