NOTATION FOR ACTIONS

Actions on button and knob controls are represented by different types of brackets around the control name:

Action Notation
Square brackets for press [CONTROL]
Angled brackets for long press <CONTROL>
Rounded brackets for turn (CONTROL)
Curly brackets for turn while pressing {CONTROL}

Actions can be nested to represent order of operations. For example creating a new a song - press and hold SHIFT, press NEW, release shift, then press NEW - is written as:

[SHIFT [NEW]] [NEW]


NOTATION FOR CONTROLS

  • Control buttons are referred to by their label. If referring to a 'shifted' label they are written in italics, e.g. SAVE and DELETE.

  • Control knobs are referred to as: VSCROLL, HSCROLL, UPPER, LOWER, SELECT/SETTINGS, TEMPO/SWING and OUTPUT LEVEL.

  • Grid pads are generically referred to as PAD. A specific pad can also be referred to by its label, e.g. BROWSE. An unlabelled pad can be referred to by a XY coordinate, with 1,1 being the top left, e.g. PAD 1,3. Pads can also be described by their color or position, such as Note start PAD, or Green PAD.

  • Mute / Launch pads are referred as MUTE. A specific mute pad can be referred to by a number, with top being 1, e.g. MUTE 1.

  • Audition / Section pads are referred to as AUDITION. A specific audition can be referred to by a number, with top being 1, e.g. AUDITION 1.
