Quick Start Guide

12. Full Level: Press this button to activate or deactivate Full Level. When Full Level is active, the pads

always play at their maximum velocity no matter how hard or soft you hit them.

13. Note Repeat / Config: Use this button to activate or deactivate Note Repeat. While Note Repeat is

active, striking a pad causes its note to retrigger at a rate based on the current Tempo and Time Division

settings. You can also sync Note Repeat to an internal or external MIDI Clock source. Press Shift and

this button to configure Note Repeat's settings.

14. Tap Tempo: Tap this button at the desired rate to enter a new tempo.

Important: This feature does not work when the Advance 61 is set to External sync.

15. Display: Use this full-color display to view Advance 61's menus, options, parameters, and settings.

16. Page Left/Right: Use these buttons to move between the available pages in the display.

17. Data Dial: Use this dial to change parameter values, settings, etc. in the display. Pressing the dial also

functions as an Enter button.

18. Cursors: Use these buttons to navigate through the menus and options in the current page in the

display.

19. Mode Buttons: Press one of these buttons to enter its primary mode (labeled above the button). Press

and hold Shift and then press one of these buttons to its secondary mode (labeled under the button).

See Basic Operation > Modes for more information.

20. Shift: Press and hold this button to enable secondary functions of certain other buttons on Advance 61.

21. Transport Control Buttons: These three buttons are dedicated buttons for sending conventional

transport control commands: Stop, Play, and Record. These can be set to send MIDI (Start/Stop), pre-

assigned MIDI CC values, MMC (MIDI Machine Control), and MMC/MIDI SysEx. The PTEX setting is for

use with Avid

Pro Tools

Express only.

22. Loop: Press and hold this button to activate the Loop or Repeat feature in your software. This button is

considered a transport control, so it can be set to send the same messages as the other transport

control buttons: MIDI (Start/Stop), pre-assigned MIDI CC values, MMC (MIDI Machine Control), and

MMC/MIDI SysEx. The PTEX setting is for use with Avid

Pro Tools

Express only.

Important: Your software must be able to loop or repeat in order to use this feature. Also, make sure

that you are using the Advance 61 Preset named after your particular software. If your software does not

have a corresponding Advance 61 Preset, configure the Transport Format in Global Mode so it

communicates properly with your software.
