    • REVERSE. Will play the sequencer in reverse where the start will be the end of the sequence - right to left.
    • PING-PONG. Will play the sequencer firstly from the start - left to right, then at the end will reverse back right to left.

Note: The ‘direction’ shortcut button label may not be printed on faceplates.

*Note: Kit rows can be set to have independent direction control settings. Independent direction for rows are set in a KIT and when Affect Entire is set to OFF. To set the global direction for all rows in a kit clip, set the direction setting while the Affect Entire option is set to ON. This will therefore apply the direction to all rows.
