(Light & Full version functionality)

Clip slots of the selected scene are managed. Pacer’s stomp switches 1-6, A-B represent the first eight tracks of Live and trigger clip slots of the selected scene.

Pacer’s stomp switches LED lights represent the playing status of clip slots of the selected scene.

This behavior is called Scene Mode.

* The secondary functions (specified in the parentheses in the pictures above) are activated by long pressing a stomp switch.



(Full version only functionality)

Pacer’s stomp switches 1-6 represent six tracks of Live, identified by their names containing text markers "[1]"-"[6]". Therefore, tracks of any position (and in any order) can be managed in Live.

If the managed track is a group track, the stomp switch manages all the sub-tracks of the group track: records sub-tracks one by one gradually, or triggers all the sub-tracks. This is useful for overdubbing, even of audio clips.

If there was a previously played clip slot of a managed track, this last played clip slot is triggered, regardless of which scene is selected (if there was no previously played clip slot, the clip slot of the currently selected scene is triggered, as in Scene Mode).

New clip of the particular track is recorded into the first empty clip slot downward the selected scene. This provides a convenient way of gradually recording new clips of the tracks while the song is evolving, without a need of selecting scenes.

This behavior is more advanced and very effective for live performances. We call it Tracks Mode.

Short-pressing the Down/Up stomp switch temporarily switches to Scene Mode, long-pressing the Down stomp switch toggles between Scene Mode and Tracks Mode.
