basics
Main modes
Four mode keys switch the whole unit between making sounds (instrument), the utility tracks (auxiliary), building the song (arrange) and balancing it (mix).
The track keys, module keys and encoders keep their jobs in every mode — pick a track, open a page, turn a knob — but what they address changes with the mode.
