Drag knobs and faders up or down (Shift for fine control, double-click to reset). Play with mouse, touch, MIDI, or your computer keyboard (for your own layout press LEARN, click a piano key, then press the PC key you want; the next note is selected automatically, Backspace removes a key, Escape finishes): the letters printed on the keys show which PC key plays each note. 1 ROW uses A to ' with W, E, T, Y, U, O, P for sharps (Z and X shift octaves, C and V change velocity); 2 ROW uses Z to / and Q to ] for two and a half octaves (left and right arrows shift octaves). The space bar holds notes. Press a lit button again to switch it off. Each patch layers a PCM attack over one sustain engine: DCO, FM or Wavetable. In the sequencer, drag the little faders to set each step's note, press REC and play keys to record, and turn on KEY TR to transpose the pattern from the keyboard while it plays. In the Rhythm Composer, pick a beat from the menu and press PLAY, use the SPEED slider to play it slower or faster, name and SAVE your own beats to My Saved Beats; the Keyboard Looper records what you play in time with the beat (REC, then DUB to stack more layers, UNDO removes the last one) so you can play over your own loops; the Song Recorder captures everything, including beats, loops, sound changes and knob moves, and plays the whole take back; click pads to add or remove hits (a second click makes an accent), and drag a blue bass pad up or down to change its note.
