the four main modes: instrument, auxiliary, arrange and mix are where you’ll spend the most time.
each mode represents a different section of the device. think of them as the different 'lifecycles' of a track:
instrument is where you compose, auxiliary is where you transpose, arrange is where you start building and mix is just for that, mixing
in instrument mode, the 8 track buttons allow you to control and edit the 8 instrument tracks available in the OP–XY.
in auxiliary mode, the 8 track buttons allow you to intelligently transpose your tracks, edit the send effects, external inputs and outputs, as well as play and sequence punch-in FX™.
in arrange mode, you build your song by chaining scenes which are made up of patterns from your 8 tracks.
in mixer mode, you control levels and panning for each of the tracks as well as the main eq and master compressor.
each main mode with the exception of arrange, features four sub modes called modules, these allow you to edit the various parameters within the selected track using the four encoders.
switch between the available modules using the four buttons underneath the screen. in some instances a screen may have extra parameters that can be accessed by holding shift.
