Slicer mode - AFX


The 8 Pads represent 8 sequential slices in the Beat Grid. The playing Slice is represented by the currently blue 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 down to repeat the last/memorized slice.

The PARAMETER (20) encoder will increase/decrease the length of the applied loop on the slice
Hold SHIFT down and then use the same PARAMETER encoder to increase/decrease the step of the Slicer (size of slice in beats).

The LCD will display the selected loop size in this mode and pressing the PARAMETER encoder will trigger the selected loop..
