| The first column in a track corresponds to the note, which can be from C-1 to B#3. The second column corresponds to the sample (or instrument) and consists of two numbers.

| Here, we can see that the third column has the effect command C followed by the effect value 20. This effect command means volume and the effect value is given as a hexadecimal number from 0 to 40 (40 is max volume). This means we override the default volume of this sample and explicitly tell to play the same note at a lower volume, giving a simple echo effect. You can set the default volume of each sample. No effect will be played if you set the effect to '' | Here, we can see that the third column has the effect command C followed by the effect value 20.

| You can of course test your samples by playing them on the keyboard at the bottom of the screen. Default sample for percussion samples is C-3. This way, you can test if you have loaded the right sample and try different samples quickly. Now that we have loaded all the samples for our drum pattern, we can go to Screen 5A to use a very nice feature to enter a drum pattern quickly. | You can of course test your samples by playing them on the keyboard at the bottom of the screen.

| On this screen, we can access the duplicate function using either the button DCOPY or the button DUP. Next to DCOPY, you can see a button with the number 8. If you press this button, it swap between the values 4, 8, 16, and 32. Press it a few times to get it back to the value 8. | On this screen, we can access the duplicate function using either the button DCOPY or the button DUP.

| Anything you enter to the first eight rows will get duplicated to the rest of the rows. However, nothing will be erased when you press the DUP button and you will only erase notes at the positions you are currently editing (e.g. if you set a C-3 on row 00, you will do the same thing to row 08, 16, 24, 32, etc, but you will not change any other notes).

| If you have selected DUP, you will now see that not only did you enter C-3 on row 00 but also on row 08, 16, 24, 32, etc. Let’s continue with sample 3 for row 01 to 03, then sample 2 for row 04, and finally sample 3 again for row 05 to 07. Once you are done, you can depress both the EDIT and the DUP buttons.
