An added DRUM sequencer permits 16 different tracks of sequencing. Record in quantize real-time using the 16 pressure delicate pads or make use of the 16 action buttons for a traditional drum device workflow. Mentioning which, when functioning in SEQ1 and SEQ2 mode those pads could manage pitch transposition as well as accessing various musical scales– such as Major, Minor, Chromatic, Dorian, Harm Minor, Mixolydian, Blues, and also an Individual setting– while the DRUM sequencer itself additionally has 8 DRUM GATES at its disposal (to send out gate outputs from the equivalent pads for causing external tools).
