• Flip Mode: Pads 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 each trigger a Flip, which you can assign in the

software. Unlit pads have no Flip assigned to them. Solidly lit pads have a Flip

assigned but are not triggered. Flashing pads have a Flip assigned and are currently

playing.

To immediately stop playback of a Flip, press and hold Shift and then press the

corresponding pad.

To automatically "snap" the length of a Flip so it aligns with the Beatgrid, press and

hold Pad 4 and then press a pad with a Flip assigned to it.

Important: Your track must have a set Beatgrid for the Loop Snap function to work.

To assign a Flip to a pad, press and hold Pad 8 and then press Pad 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 or 7.

24. Slicer / Slicer Loop: This Pad Mode button switches the pads between Slicer Mode and

Slicer Loop Mode. When the button is unlit, the first press will always select Slicer Mode.

Important: Your track must have a set Beatgrid for Slicer Mode or Slicer Loop Mode to

work.

• Slicer Mode: The eight pads represent eight sequential beats—"Slices"—in the

Beatgrid. The currently playing Slice is represented by the currently lit pad; the light

will "move through the pads" as it progresses through each eight-Slice phrase.

Press a pad to play that Slice—hold it down if you want to keep looping it. When

you release the pad, the track will resume normal playback from where it would have

been if you had never pressed it (i.e., as if the track had been playing forward the

whole time).

Turn the Parameter Knob to decrease or increase the Slice quantization. Press and

hold Shift and then turn the Parameter Knob to decrease or increase the Slice

Domain size.

• Slicer Loop Mode: The pads behave identically to the pads in Slicer Mode, except

the eight-Slice phrase will loop rather than moving forward continuously through the

track.
