How to use

Load or record samples into the device, assign them to pads or tracks and create patterns using the step sequencer or live input. Arrange patterns into a song structure and adjust parameters such as pitch, sample start/length and tempo to shape the groove. Use the dedicated controls to trigger patterns, mute or solo tracks and perform transitions in real time. For live performance, prepare sets of patterns and samples in advance and use the device’s hands-on interface to switch or manipulate elements during a set.

Recommendations

For reliable operation in live contexts, test sample levels and transitions at performance volume, back up important sample banks, and familiarise yourself with the pattern arrangement workflow. Use high-quality, appropriately trimmed samples to reduce load times and ensure consistent playback. When sketching ideas, experiment with tempo changes and pitch modulation to explore variations quickly.
