    Press the buttons of the effects you want to apply, including the [FILTER+DRIVE] button, the [RESONATOR] button, the [DELAY] button, the [ISOLATOR] button, the [DJFX LOOPER] button, and the [MFX] button.
    This turns the effects on.
  2. Press pads [1]–[16] to play back the samples.
    Effects are applied to the samples.
