current section, e.g Section 1. On the Sequences screen, you can watch as the song

section turns sequences on and off, and you can activate additional sequences. If you want

one section to play in a loop, select that section and touch Loop to activate loop mode.

Touch Loop again when you are ready to fall through to the next section.

Once you have a few sequences recorded, you can create your own song section. A new

preset starts with one song section and you can add more up to a total of 16 sections per

preset. Touch Edit, then Add to insert a new section after the currently selected section.

Song Sections

When you are in Song mode, the PLAY button will play both the current song section and

any active sequences. The REC + PLAY button combination will record sequence on and off events into the currently

selected section. Please note that Song mode only records sequences. It does not record anything played on Pads or

Keys screen. But you can use Pads and Keys to play along with what you have recorded.

The Song screen also allows you to change the BPM of the internal clock, and alter the length of each song section. The

current BPM is displayed in the top left below the bars and beats counter (150 in the screenshot). Turn the top left knob

to adjust the BPM. Select a section and push INFO to view and change the number of beats in this section. Back on the

main Song page, use the Edit menu to manipulate song sections.

Tools

The Tools screen is the home for global settings that apply across presets. This is where

you can adjust the Headphone volume and turn on the metronome. Push TOOLS and then

push INFO to cycle through the available settings pages. Turn a knob to adjust the value

of the nearest setting.

MIDI Devices

Tools

Blackbox is designed to work with MIDI devices to offer a more tactile input mode and a bigger keyboard. Plug your

MIDI input device into either the Device USB jack or the MIDI In TRS jack. Blackbox supports the Novation standard for

mini TRS audio jacks. Use the MIDI adapters provided to connect to devices that use an alternative standard for these

jacks. For more information about the TRS connection for MIDI, please read the
