PLAY Function
Purpose: Use to play notes (to play the sample sound).
Description: Use the pad to record note-on events (sample-playback events) onto
COMPOSED LOOP and FREE tracks, and to play samples out in real
time.
Operation in Each Mode:
REC mode
Pad press records a Note-On; pad release records a Note-Off. (Effec-
tive only on COMPOSED LOOP and FREE tracks.)
Any other mode
Pad press causes sample to play out; pad release causes sample play-
back to stop. (Effective on all sample tracks.)
ON/MUTE Function
Purpose: Use to toggle the track mute on or off. Especially useful for temporarily
switching off playback from LOOP and COMPOSED LOOP tracks.
Description: Use the pad to set the track’s mute on or off. This pad function works
on all tracks, and can be used in all modes. Note that switching the
mute on is the only way to switch off automatic playback from the
LOOP and COMPOSED LOOP tracks.
Additional Information:
Setting the mute on [or off] for the MASTER track automatically
sets the mutes for all other tracks on [or off].
Although muting a track will shut the track’s sound output off, it
does not prevent you from recording other events (pad, knob, and
scene events) onto that track. Although you will not hear these
events as you record them, they will be stored in the song and you
can play them later by switching off the mute.
ROLL Function
Purpose: Use to roll a note (to play the initial portion of the sample repeatedly,
producing a sound like a drum roll or a machine gun.)
