If you additionally activate the INSERT key, you can crossfade between the two most recently selected steps.
◊If you are currently playing a chase, you can pause it by pressing the INSERT key. Pressing the INSERT key for the second time restarts the chase again. INSERT and MANUAL can also be used in SOUND and RUN modes.
◊Instead of crossfading between chase steps, you can also activate the insert function and then select a memory (FLASH keys (22) / (23)) and crossfade between the last step and the said memory. Also, you can use the STEP key to crossfade between a preset and a memory in an infinite number of steps.
Do the following:
1.Pause a running chase with the INSERT key.
2.Select a memory with one of the FLASH keys.
3.Pull up one or several preset faders (A fader (41) is closed).
