Cymbals - Closed Hi-Hat, Open Hi-Hat, Crash, Ride
Toms - Lo Tom, Mid Tom, Hi Tom, Op-Cl
Bass - Bass, Synth, Metal, Accent (each with an overdrive toggle)

User guide

Step Sequencer 16-step pattern sequencer with per-instrument programming.

The bottom row of pads shows the current pattern for the selected instrument with a live playhead. BPM is adjustable from 40 to 240 via the D-Pad.

Track Bank Save up to 16 patterns to the track bank. Each saved pattern captures all 16 instruments' step data, volume, tune, decay, and mute state.

Song Mode Arrange saved tracks into a 16-slot song sequence. In song mode the sequencer automatically advances through the arrangement one bar at a time, allowing full songs to be built from individual patterns.

Project Save / Load Projects save to ux0:data/v909_project.txt, storing the live pattern, all track bank slots, the arrangement, BPM, and song mode state.
