Settings

The first Global page holds 13 options. Each one sits on a step pad. Press the step pad to pick the option, then use the value pads to set it. Boolean options flip when you press any value pad.

Each lit step pad is one option. Press it to pick the option, then set the value on the value pads.

Options

Settings are kept in your settings file, so they apply to every project. Tap a step pad to choose the option; a boolean flips when you tap any value pad.

# Option Step pad Default What it does
1 Scroll text 82 Off Lets the Launchpad show scrolling text messages
2 Sticky SHIFT 83 Off SHIFT stays on after a tap
3 Sticky DUP 85 Off DUP (27) stays on after a tap
4 Sticky CLEAR 87 Off CLEAR (28) stays on after a tap. Undo and redo never latch
5 Save patch 71 Off When you store a scene with SHIFT + a quick-slot pad (11-18, outside SESS), asks the device for its patch dumps and keeps them in memory for that scene. They are not saved in the project file
6 Record external 73 Off Adds incoming Circuit Tracks note and controller messages to the MIDI recording. See Recording and files
7 Edits survive regen 75 On On: regenerating a track keeps hand edits. Off: regeneration rewrites every unlocked step
8 Bar master 76 Clock Which bar counter drives the bars, the polymeter reset and resync. Value pad 41 = Clock, 42 = Selected track, 43-48 and 31-32 = Tracks 1-8
9 Chain length 78 1 Bars between snapshot-chained scenes. Value pads 41-48 and 31-38 = 1 to 16 bars
10 Chain follows bar master 62 On On: chaining counts the bar master’s bars. Off: counts clock bars from the transport start
11 Swing 64 50 Global swing from 50 to 75, added to each track’s own swing. The value pads step up from 50 at pad 41 to 75 at pad 38. See Feel
12 Groove 66 Straight Groove template for tracks set to inherit the global groove. Pads 41 Straight, 42 MPC 54, 43 MPC 58, 44 MPC 62, 45 MPC 66, 46 Laid back, 47 Rushed hats, 48 12/8 shuffle, 31 Drunk
13 Show guide 68 On Shows the guide panel in the companion window. Same setting as the Guide button

Note

The stored patch dumps are not sent back to the device when a scene is recalled in this version, so Save patch does not restore sounds yet.

Tip

Sticky DUP and sticky CLEAR make the held pad latch. Undo and redo are the exception: their gesture never latches, so SHIFT + CLEAR still works with sticky CLEAR on.
