Pad Motion
Pad Motion allows you to record and playback
the motion of your finger on the touch pad.
This allows you to accurately reproduce the
same complicated movements repeatedly. In
addition, the pad LEDs will provide a visual indication
of the movement.
You can even save pad motion recording as
part of the Program Memory. (p.12)
Recording a pad motion
Hold down the PAD MOTION button. As soon
as your finger hits the touch pad, the PAD MO-
TION button will begin blinking, indicating that
the pad motion is being recorded. To stop recording,
release the PAD MOTION button, and
pad motion playback will begin. Pad motion is
only recorded for a few seconds, so if the Pad
Motion button stops blinking and is lit up red,
pad motion recording has stopped, and pad
motion playback will begin immediately.

PAD MOTION button once again. the button
will go dark (unlit).
TIP When you begin recording, the previously-recorded
motion will be overwritten.

Press the PAD MOTION button; the button will
light up, and the pad motion will begin playing
as a loop.
The pad LEDs will show the recorded movement.
When you press the PAD MOTION button
once again, the button will go dark and
playback will stop.
Reverse playback
If you hold down the SHIFT button and press
the PAD MOTION (REVERSE) button, the
pad motion will play back in reverse. You can
repeat this operation to alternate between
“reverse playback” › “forward playback” › “reverse
playback.”
Saving a pad motion
To save the pad motion you've just recorded,
write (or re-write) the current program into Program
Memory (p.12)

of the value in steps of 1.
