DISABLE YES/NO ARM will when checked disable the one shot trig arming and disarming when
simply pressing [YES] or [NO]. Note that when this arm/disarm functionality is disabled, the same
functionality can be achieved by pressing [FUNC] + [YES] or [FUNC] + [NO]. Read more about one
shot trigs in section "12.4.5 ONE SHOT TRIGS" on page 66.
DIS. STOP-STOP ARM will when checked disable one shot trig arming when double pressing [STOP]
while the sequencer is stopped.
DIS. PAGE AUTOCOPY will when checked no longer auto copy existing trigs when extending the
length of a track or pattern. Read more about how to change pattern and track length in section "12.14
SCALE SETUP" on page 77.
DEFAULT TRIG MODE selects the default track trigging mode when creating new projects. Read
more about the modes in the section "12.10 PATTERN SETTINGS MENU" on page 73.
DEFAULT REC MODE selects the default trig mode for the track recorders when creating new proj-
ects. For more information, please see "9.1 RECORDING EDIT AND SETUP MENUS" on page 44.
SAVE SAMPLES TO offers two settings.
• AUDIO POOL will when saving recorded audio or saving samples in the audio editor save the data
to the audio pool of the set.
• PROJECT DIRECTORY will when saving recorded audio or saving samples in the audio editor
save the data to the project folder.
SHORT SAMPLE NAME controls how samples will be abbreviated when loaded to the Flex and Static
sample slot lists.
• BEG+END will combine the five first characters of the file name with the five last characters. This
is the default option.
• BEG ONLY will show the first ten characters of the sample name.
• END ONLY will show the last ten characters of the sample name.
RECORD QUICK MODE will when activated alleviate the need to press a [TRACK] key in combination
with the [REC1/2] keys to initiate manual sampling. Instead, pressing the [REC1/2] keys will direct-
ly initiate manual sampling for the track recorder of the active track, making one handed sampling
operation possible. This quick mode of sampling works a bit different when sampling internal sources.
Pressing [MIDI] will only initiate sampling when the RECORDING SETUP menus are active. If these
menus are not active, MIDI mode will be accessed when the key is pressed. Read more about manual
sampling in the section "9.2.1 MANUAL SAMPLING" on page 47.

back will be stopped and the project synced to card.
