Good to know
- Power-on starts at zero: T1 ANALOG, T2 FM6, T3 LOFI, T4 DRUM, empty sequences.
- Saving and loading need the transport stopped (STOP TO SAVE).
- SAVE-layer stores go to flash only when you stop: stop before switching off.
- On a DRUM track OCT changes how keys play: up = ratchets, down = short / ghost / flam.
- Only T1-T4 play by default; GLO > SYSTEM > TRACKS 6 wakes T5 and T6.
A community cheat sheet by the hub, not by the firmware's makers: when in doubt, their manual is right.
