Draw Mode

The Draw Mode is assigned to layers 12 and 13.

Draw Mode Operation

In this mode you can press individual LED buttons or draw lines or curves on the matrix, and those actions will be played back and repeated. You can keep adding to your "composition" during playback to build up thick sonic textures.

[Reference]

❊Recording and playback of LED button operations loops in 16th-beat increments in the Score mode. LED button operations are played back in the next loop. The loop length (cycle) can be adjusted via the Loop Speed parameter (Loop Speed ➝ Page 29, 51. Master Loop Speed ➝ Page 45).

❊In the Draw Mode you cannot clear only a part of the performance. The entire layer can be cleared by pressing the [CLEAR] button.

When a button is pressed it will sound and be activated immediately. In the Draw Mode there is no need to press and hold a button to enter a note. Because this, in the Draw mode is possible to "draw sounds" by running your finger(s) over the LED button matrix in various ways.

❊The note length (gate time) can be changed as required. (Sound Length ➝ Page 25, 52)

As in the Score Mode the factory default scale for the vertical axis is an ionian scale, corresponding to the white keys on a piano. Nothing is assigned to the horizontal axis, but you can run your finger over the matrix horizontally to produce notes in quick succession.
