Toggle "PAD SEL" and hit a pad to select it's note as the step sequencer's current note. Then untoggle PAD SEL mode, to get the pads back to their role as note toggles on the bar's 16 steps.

Hi,
Thanks for the response!
However, regardless of whether PAD SEL is highlighted, hitting a pad still selects it.
Could you clarify the difference?
The hardware SELECT button seems to work as you described.

Hi Marc,

Thank you for your patience with this case!

This has been tested, and I can confirm that the function will work the same with or without the pad select button toggled on or off. It will be reported to our product teams, thank you for raising this.

My apologies again for the time taken to provide a close to this case.

I will close the ticket now, but please do not hesitate to get in touch if you require any further assistance!

Kind Regards,
