Adding Flams to your Pattern
- Press the Start/Stop Button to play your selected Pattern.
- Press the TR-REC Button to enter Step Recording Mode.
- Hold Shift and Press the Sub Button, the Display shows ‘Flam’.
- Press an Instrument Select Button to add a Flam to the selected Instrument.
- Press one or more Pads [1-16] to add Flams to your Pattern.
- Press the Sub Button again to turn off Flam Recording.
Adjusting the Flam Spacing
- Hold Shift and press the PTN Select Button to view the Pattern Setting screen.
- Turn the Value Knob to select Flam Spacing and press Enter.
- Turn the Value Knob to adjust the Flam Spacing.
Please Note: Each time you hold Shift and press the Sub Button, its function alternates between Sub and Flam. If you press the Sub Button and then press one of the Pads [1-16], and the Pad lights in yellow, you’ve just added a Sub Step. If you want to input a Flam instead, hold Shift and press the Sub Button again to switch to Flam. Then press the Pad once to remove the Sub Step, then again to input a Flam. The Pads with Flams assigned to them light up in Purple.
PRO TIP
When you’re not recording, it’s a good idea to press the INST Play Button to go back into INST Play Mode, so you avoid recording unintended steps. In INST Play, the Pads [1-11] play the corresponding Instruments without recording any Steps into the Pattern.Article written by Alex Marlowe
