couple questions i hope someone can help me with --
1 how do you do note repeat -- as in a drum roll? -- i want to be able to press a pad once and it play the same hit again and again
2 let's say i make a sequence and everything is completely the way i dig it cept for 1 note -- how do i "nudge" that note in reprogramming so it hugss on the say of the beat closer? can you do this without the standard timing preset fixes (with the timing off, i guess is what i mean)? any help would be sincerely appreciated. thanks. peace.

note repeat/tap tempo-hold it down then hold down the pad-but it must be set to a quantize setting because thats how rapid it will repeat. [16/32 ect.]

step edit [f1 in main screen]-when its not in a time setting [quantize] you are able to scroll through all the hits....make sure you are on the same track as the sound you would like to "nudge".

Did you do a search? NOOOOOOOOOPe!

Anyway, Ive started now...

Note Repeat function: Hold down the TAP TEMPO/NOTE REPEAT button then press and hold the pad you want to roll.
You'l need to make some edits (Velocity gain/structure) to make this sound sensible (especially if your trying to emilate a drum roll)
You can do this in step edit. Press F1/Step Edit from the main screen.

To nudge a hit, you need to do this in Step Edit also. The this is, u wont actually be nudging it. You'l be deleting the old hit and placing a new hit a few taps on. While your in the Step Edit screen, use the step cursor to tick along to where you want the hit. Make sure your in the right quantize I.E 16th, 16(3), 32 etc If you need to get real accurate use the jog wheel.

If you still aint sure, you may need to pop your head into the manual

bravo i reckon searching the archives should be mandatory, too many questions being asked which are either answered in the manual or have been answered loads of times before.....if someone asks about swing again...ill..ill
