Quick select mode lets you instantly switch patterns and scenes by holding a group or main button and pressing a numbered pad, with changes taking effect the moment you press.

Enable quick select mode

Press shift and eraser to open system settings, navigate to "seq" then "qsl", and set it to "on".

Quick select a pattern

Hold a group pad (Group A, Group B, Group C, or Group D) and press pads 1-9 to immediately switch to that pattern number on that group. For patterns higher than 9, press the dot pad first, then pads 1-9 to enter a higher value.

Quick select a scene

Hold main and press pads 1-9 to immediately jump to that scene. Again, use the dot pad then pads 1-9 for scenes higher than 9.

Changing projects while in quick select

To change projects without triggering quick select, hold main then press the dot pad first. You can then continue holding main and press the project number you want to switch to.

Disable quick select mode

Return to system settings, navigate to "seq" then "qsl", and set it to "off".
