How do I get this to stop?” - If you look on the MIDI track settings you can choose which preset it is playing. One of those setting will be a 1 or a 2, change it to change the default preset for that track, or turn it off to not have it change the preset at all. It's one of the " | ||

A separate stereo headphone socket is situated on the front panel to assist the setting up of samples without anybody else hearing them.

| - | * | + | * step sequencer provides 16 steps, and supports both realtime recording and step recording. You can use the 16 step buttons to select a step directly, allowing quick editing to replace the pitch of a step or to mute it, or even improvisatory performances. Motion sequence lets you record the movements of up to four knobs, adding time-varying change to the sound, and you can record not only smooth changes in value but also values that change precisely at each step. You can use this to design the sound differently at each step; for example, you might create a drum pattern or sound effect from just a single program. |
