Hey navs,

If I understand the question correctly, you want to play the sample across the 16 buttons?

Switch to LIVE PLAY mode by holding F8 and pressing V6 (the button next to it) – doing it again toggles back to STEP ENTRY mode.

How the mapping works depends on the SAMPLE MODE (F1 + B3).

SINGLE mode, the sample is mapped across the buttons based on the current SCALE TYPE (change with F8 + B1)
SL 16 – the whole length of the sample is divided into 16 slices evenly and mapped across the buttons
SL TRS – the sample is split at its loudest transients and mapped across the buttons

To record your button presses into the pattern, make sure the sequencer is running and you’re in LIVE PLAY mode, then double-press F1. Pressing any of the F-row buttons stops recording.
