7.3 USING KEYBOARD MODE

You can use the [TRIG] keys to play any track chromatically.

1. Select the track to play chromatically by pressing [TRK] + one of the [TRIG 1–16] keys.
2. Press [KEYBOARD] to enter KEYBOARD mode. The [TRIG] keys will light up in a pattern that resembles an octave of a piano keyboard. Only lit keys are playable.
3. Play the [TRIG] keys. The preset will be pitched differently for each of the playable keys. Press [+]/[-] to transpose the virtual keyboard up or down one octave.

For more information, please see “8.5.1 KEYBOARD MODE” on page 24.

KEYBOARD mode is an effective way to add musical variety to your tracks. The timbre, tonality and impact of playing a preset chromatically depends on the character of the source preset.
