Triggering Chords or Single Notes
To trigger a chord or a single note with a pad, you first need to define the chord or
note:
1. Right-click a pad.
2. On the context menu, select "Snapshot Chord".
The pad starts blinking to indicate that it is in Learn mode.
3. Play a chord or a single note.
The keys belonging to the chord are highlighted on the internal keyboard.
4. To accept the chord or note, click the pad that is blinking.
The pad turns blue to indicate that a chord or note is assigned.
Triggering the pad now plays the chord or note.
• To use the pads for switching between expressions, select "Snapshot Chord" on
the context menu and play the corresponding key switch.
If you define a chord that also contains a key switch, you can trigger the chord with a
specific instrument expression.
If you add keys to a chord that also work as trigger notes, they trigger the underlying
MIDI note instead of the trigger note.
• To clear the chord or note from a pad, right-click the trigger pad and select "Clear
Chord".
Switching between FlexPhraser Variations
You can use the trigger pads to switch between FlexPhraser variations. For more
information, see
Proceed as follows:
1. Right-click the trigger pad you want to use for switching to the selected
FlexPhraser variations.
2. On the menu, select "Snapshot FlexPhrasers".
The line above the pad turns orange to indicate that a FlexPhraser snapshot is
assigned.
3. When you trigger the pad, it switches to the variations that were selected when
you made the snapshot.
Instead of storing the variation settings themselves, the trigger pad stores only which
variations were selected when you made the snapshot. This allows you to change
settings of variations even after you made the snapshot.
When layers are replaced or added, you need to take the FlexPhraser snapshot again.
• To clear the FlexPhraser snapshot, right-click the trigger pad and select "Clear
FlexPhrasers".
Using Multiple Trigger Pads Modules
You can use multiple Trigger Pads modules inside a layer in a serial connection. This
allows you to memorize and trigger more than eight chords, for example. However, it is
not possible to memorize more than eight FlexPhraser snapshots. Only the last Trigger
Pads module can be used to switch between FlexPhraser snapshots.
