The unit features an expanded 8 x 8 multicolor clip-launching grid that’s built for hands-on exploration. Launch clips, and create or perform songs from the ground up using sixty-four responsive triggers. Thanks to the tricolor backlit visual feedback, you can determine the exact status of a clip—loaded, playing, or recording—without taking your eyes off of the controller. Additionally, a shift button and directional arrows enlarge the scope of the grid.

Nine channel faders allow for real-time mixing. Change channel-fader functionality with dedicated buttons for volume, pan, sends, and device control. Fade clips in and out of the mix, pan instruments, raise the level of reverb or other effects to create fluid transitions, open and close filters for sweeps, and more. Each fader is completely assignable for flexible mixing and mapping options.
