Momentary vs. Latching Behavior
By default, a Snapshot will only be active as long as you hold the assigned key. As so on as you release the key, the Snapshot is
deactivated and all previous setting s are restored. This is excellent for simply “punching in” little tweaks and effects th at you only
use for a few moments at a time.
If you place a check box in the “Latch” column of the Snapshot lis t, the Snapshot will become active when you press the assigne d
key and will rem ain active even after you release the key. When you press the same key again, the Snapshot will be turned off.
This mode allows you to re call a setting that you may wa nt to leave active for a while, su ch as a special stutter pattern that you
created using multiple Stro be effects.
Polyphonic Snapshots
On top of all this, you can trigger multiple Sn apshots at a time. You can, for example, trigger one Snapshot that cuts t he bass and
boosts the treble on Deck A w hile triggering another that detu nes the track on Deck B.
You’ll notice that whenever you activ ate a S napshot, it s check boxes in the Snapshot List will light u p, indicating that those
parameters are being controlled by the Snap shot. On the occasion that you trigger another Snapshot th at has conicting settings
(both Snap shots you’re triggering have FX checked , for example), the last Snap shot you triggered will take pre cedence. You’ll
note that the green che ck mark in the FX column of the rst S napshot will turn red, indicating th at the parameter is overridden
by the other Snapshot. As soon as you deactivate t he second Snapshot, the red check will t urn green again, ind icating that the
parameter in the rs t Snapshot is in use again.
