1.4.2 BUTTON COMBINATIONS (SIMULTANEOUS)

Whenever multiple buttons are to be pressed simultaneously the "+" sign is used. The first button name is

the first button pressed. The second button name after the "+" sign is the second button pressed (while

holding the first button). In some cases there are additional button presses.

For example, to clear a pattern the "function" and "clear" buttons are pressed in order as shown below.

This would be written as

[FUNCTION]

+ [CLEAR], and illustrated as shown below:

In some instances button combinations are indicated using the

"finger point" graphic. In these

instances the order of button presses is indicated by the number of each hand. For example, SECTION +

BUTTON 2 is equivalent to the graphic below.

secondary functions such as setting MIDI channels and Sync modes. The step buttons will be abbreviated

denoted STEP BUTTON 4.
