Recording your performance on the sampling pads

The AW4416 provides a simple sequencer dedicated to the sampling pads which operates in conjunction with the recorder. This simple sequencer records the tim- ing of the trigger events that occur when you strike a pad, and can be used to layer kick or snare sounds on the audio tracks, or to add sound effects. Events in a specified area can also be copied repeatedly as a pattern, or erased.

Here’s how to record your pad performance on the simple sequencer.

1. In the SAMPLING PAD section, press the [EDIT] pad → [F5] key.

The Trig. List page will appear, allowing you to record your pad performance.
