Handling the touch panel

Never press down too hard on the touch panel, or place a heavy object on it. Rough handling can cause it to crack or break. Rubbing or pressing the touch panel with a sharp object can scratch it, so only use your finger to operate it. If cleaning is necessary, wipe only with a soft dry cloth. Using solvents such as thinner may melt the surface of the touch panel.

About the PROGRAM/LOCATION display

When selecting a program: the program number (1–60) will be displayed.

When operating the touch panel: the position you touched (1.1–9.9, with

5.5 being the center) will be displayed.

Example display

If you select a program that has a Hold On setting, the program number will be displayed, and then the position that is being held will be displayed.

Sample/play effect

These effects let you record a phrase that you hear, and then play it back by operating the touch panel.

Use the following procedure to record and playback.

1Using the PROGRAM knob or the PROGRAM MAP keys, select a sample/play effect (program numbers 51–60).

The REC switch LED will blink, and the KAOSS PAD will be in recordready mode. At this time, the sound will be output without any change.

2 Press the REC switch to begin recording.

3Press the REC switch once again to stop recording.

The REC switch LED will light.

Even if you do not press the REC switch, recording will end automatically when the maximum recording time has elapsed. (The maximum recording time will depend on the program.)

4Operate the touch panel to playback the recorded phrase.

The sound will change depending on the position where you touch the panel. The way in which the sound changes will depend on the program.

5To re-record, press the REC switch again.

The previously-recorded phrase will be erased, and a new phrase will be recorded.

If you turn off the power switch or change programs, the recorded phrase will be erased.
