Playing Fills, Playing Patterns with the Pads | Akai XR20 guide

PLAYING FILLS

STEP 1

Begin by selecting a Pattern and pressing PLAY.

STEP 2

Press and release the FILL button while the main A Pattern is playing. You’ll hear a drum fill that leads right into the associated B Pattern.

STEP 3

Press the FILL button again. A different fill will transition from the B Pattern back into the A Pattern.

STEP 4

Fills do not always have to be transitional Patterns. Suppose an A Pattern is playing. If you press the FILL button, a fill will start – but this time, keep the FILL button held down until after the fill has finished playing. This cancels the transition to the alternate pattern (in this example, the A pattern would continue playing).

PLAYING PATTERNS WITH THE PADS

The XR20 allows you to play sequences of Pattern by triggering Patterns with the pads. This mode is called Pattern Play Mode.

STEP 1

Press the PATTERN PLAY button – this will enter Pattern

Play Mode. The display will indicate PATTERN PLAY.

STEP 2

Try tapping a pad. The Pattern associated with the pad will begin playing. As the Pattern reaches its end, it will continue to loop from the beginning.

STEP 3

Now try hitting another pad. The Pattern associated with the pad will begin playing as soon as the previously selected Pattern reaches its end.

STEP 4

To change the Pattern assigned to a pad, press the

PAGE RIGHT button.

Press the pad which you would like to modify.

Now use the DATA dial, INC / DEC, or number buttons to select the Pattern to be triggered with

the pad. You may also specify A, B or Fill for the selected Pattern.

Finally, press PATTERN PLAY again to exit the edit screen and continue performing.
