Hi, after a year and a half of using the SC5000, I’ve realized that there are two buttons that I have never used.
They are the left and right arrows (just above the 7th and 8th pads, below the slip button, and to the right of the slicer button).
The SC5000 user manual says that they are for controlling pad-mode parameters, depending on which pad mode the user is (hotcue, loop, roll, slicer). However, no more details are given.
And I don’t know which parameters they are referring to.
Loop modes: Use the parameter buttons to shift the loop region forward or backward by the current loop size.
Slicer mode: Use the parameter buttons to change the length of the repeats. Hold Shift and use the parameter buttons to change the length of the slices.
