Creating and Erasing Songs | Alesis PERFORMANCE PAD PRO guide

CREATING AND ERASING SONGS

The PerformancePad Pro can remember the order in which you selected Patterns, which variations were selected, and when you selected fills. Recording this information in PerformancePad Pro’s Song Mode creates a complete Song. Begin with the PerformancePad Pro stopped.

STEP 1

Select Song Mode by pressing the PATTERN /

SONG button so the display says SONG.

STEP 2

The display should say EMPTY SONG. If not, press the INC / DEC buttons (or use the VALUE dial) to select an empty song.

STEP 3

Choose a Pattern for Song step 1 by switching back to Pattern Mode (press SONG / PATTERN so PATTERN is displayed). User Patterns should not be selected for now, so if the display says USER, press PRESET / USER button so USER is no longer illuminated. Now, use the INC / DEC buttons or the VALUE dial to select the first pattern.

STEP 4

Press the PATTERN / SONG buttons to switch back to Song Mode (the display will show SONG).

STEP 5

Press the REC button to enable Record Mode (the REC LED will illuminate). Now press the PLAY button to begin recording the Song. You will see the screen shown on the right. The first three-digit number (000 in this example) shows the current Song Step. The second three-digit number (005 in this example) shows the Beat Number of the currently selected Pattern. The Pattern selected for this step is shown on the second line (PATT 05 in this example). A, B or FILL will be shown as well, depending on which iteration of the Pattern has been chosen.

STEP 6

To select the Pattern which should be played next, use the INC / DEC buttons. Alternatively, you can use the VALUE dial or you can enter the Pattern number with the number keys. Remember to add a leading zero for patterns 0-9 (i.e. 00, 05, 09, etc). The screen will change to display NEXT and the cued Pattern number on the bottom line. The Pattern will begin playing as soon as the current Pattern plays through its end.
