(Except in special circumstances.) K1 K2 K3 K4 K5 K6 K7 M4 F4 Basic Operations A particular Pad is shown by a sign above with “[ ]”. “[A] + [B]” means a operation that hold down [A] and then press [B]. STEPS [S] : Step Playback If a Note is in the Step, it is played back and a corresponding Keyboard Pad is lit in Amber. (Note: Step Playback is disabled during Sequence Playback.) [S] + [K(unlit)] : Putting a Note into the Step [S] blinks to indicate that it is ready for putting a Note. Then a Note on [K] is put into this Step. After that [S] is lit in Amber to indicate that a Note is in this Step. [S] + [K(Amber)] : Removing a Note from the Step A lit [K] turns unlit to indicate that a Note is removed. [S] + [M3] : Switching Step Status See the chapter “2.2 Step Status” for details. [S] + [S] : Selecting Steps Pads between both Pads are SELECTED and lit in Green. The SELECTED Steps become targets of a subsequent action. Press any [S] again to reset the selection. PRACQ To select ONE Step only: - [S] + [M1] or - [S](Held Down) and proceed to next action. SELECTED Steps -> [F2] / [F3] : Transpose Up / Down Note pitch in SELECTED Steps is transposed in semitones. SELECTED Steps (kept holding down the first [S]) + [K] : Putting a Long Note See the chapter “2.2. Step Status” for details. KEYBOARD [K] : Playing the Keyboard Here is a 28-key Keyboard. You can change Scale that appears on Keyboard Pads through Scale Mode. [F1] / [F4] : Keyboard Range Shift (Up / Down) Keyboard Pads range is shifted per row. REFERENCE MANUAL Rev8 4 Basic Operations (Continued) TRANSPORT TRACKS [T1] : Sequence Playback Current played step is lit in Red as Playback Position. And if a Note exists in the Step, it is played and a corresponding Keyboard Pad is lit in Red. Press [T1] again to stop Playback. [R] : Track Selector [R1] to [R4] represent Track 1 to 4 respectively. Current Track is lit in Amber. See the chapter “2.1 Data Structure” for details about Tracks. [T2] + [T1] : Song Rewind and Sequence Playback [T2] + [S] : Moving Playback Position Playback Position (lit in Red) is moved to [S]. OTHERS [F] : Func Pad You can select function of Func Pad ([F1] to [F4]) from “Preference” -> “Func Pad” tab on the program. And [F0] is used for switching set of function assignment. See the chapter “3.1. Func Pad” for details. SELECTED Steps -> [T3] : Making a Loop Region [M1] + [F1] : Export a MIDI File SELECTED Steps, if any, change to Loop Current Track data is saved in the folder where Region. [T3] is lit in Amber to indicate that Loop Region is applied to Sequence Playback. the execution file is. [T3] (Without SELECTED Steps) : Reset a Loop Region [M1] + [F4] : Exit the Program Playback Note Indicators During playback, the following pads are lit depending on current playback Note. - Step Playback: Amber - Sequence Playback: Red ... K25 K26 K27 K28 M1 M2 Above Non-scale M3 K1 K2 K3 M4 ... Below On scale For example, in the case of C Major Scale... [M2] is lit in Green when Semitone Keyboard is enabled. Amber / Red: Long Note (TIE Status) Green (Step Playback): Muted (MUTE Status) Note) See the chapter “2.2. Step Status” for details about TIE/MUTE Status. Non-scale M2 M2 M2 M2 M4 M4 K1 K2 K3 Below PRACQ M2 M2 M2 M2 M2 K25 K26 K27 K28 M1 M1 On scale Above REFERENCE MANUAL Rev8 5 Handling of Non-scale notes Scale notes are available from Keyboard pads, while Non-scale notes are available by the following methods. Semitone Keyboard [K] + [M2] : Enabling Semitone Keyboard [M2(Green)] : Disabling Semitone Keyboard Keyboard pads will be temporarily semitone (Chromatic) arrangement in which a note position of pressed [K] is kept. When Semitone Keyboard is enabled, [M2] is lit in Green. Semitone Keyboard will be automatically disabled when Keyboard Pads state is changed. Complementary Key [S] + [M2(Amber)] : Removing a Non-scale note from the Step [S] + [M2(unlit)] : Putting a Non-scale note into the Step [M2] is used as a kind of Keyboard pad that represent a Non-scale note played most recently. If Non-scale note hasn't played yet, this function won’t work. In addition, Notes played as Sequence Playback won’t be targets of this function. Scale Mode [M2(unlit)] : Moving to Scale Mode [M2] is used as a Scale Mode Pad. In the Scale Mode, you can select and build scales. See the chapter “1.4. Scale Mode” for details. Usage Examples (When C Major Scale is selected) 1. Initial state 2. Enabling Semitone Keyboard C Major Scale C C C C D D D D E E E E F F F F G G G G A A A A B B B B 3.

[T2] : Display Playback Position (Even if sequence playback is stopped.) KEYBOARD [T2] + [T1] : Song Rewind and Sequence Playback [T2] + [K] : Display Octaves For example, if you press [K] that means note G3, pads that means note G2 and G4 are lit in Green at the same time. (When Chromatic Scale is selected.)

Setup PRACQ Software 1. Check the “SYNC (MIDI Clock) Enable” checkbox. 2. Select a MIDI Device connected to an External Sequencer from “SYNC (MIDI Clock) OUT” menu. If no device is selected, a “INSTRUMENT OUT” device is used also for “SYNC (MIDI Clock) OUT”. Ableton Live : 1. Options menu -> Preferences -> MIDI, then make sure Launchpad is NOT used for Control Surface. 2. On the same tab 3. Control Bar DAW Unfortunately, it seems that there are not many DAW that can act as a MIDI Clock Slave adequately. Recommended DAW : - Ableton Live / Live Lite - Native Instruments Maschine - Propellerhead Reason / Reason Essentials Native Instruments Maschine : 1. File menu -> Audio and MIDI Settings -> MIDI -> Inputs, then turn on the device for MIDI Clock Input. 2. File menu -> Sync to External MIDI Clock Propellerhead Reason : 1.
