A4 Can't turn performance mode off

Fairly new A4 owner here. Somehow I’ve turned performance mode on and I can’t turn it off. It’s lit up white and the first six trigs are lit up (red) as quick mutes. If I hit FUNC + PERF the perf button turns blue and it goes into Performance Configure. I’ve tried hitting the button by itself, tapping in combination with NO, etc.

How do I get out of Performance Mode?

Thanks.

You can press any other menu key, like OSC 1 for example. And you’re out :slight_smile:

So simple, can’t believe I didn’t accidentally do it. Thanks, @Octave.

The A4 is new to me too, and I stumbled upon the exact same issue ^^

I Think a lot of us have been there In the learning Stage. Momentarily trapped in performance mode. I know I have :smiley:

Okay, this from the guy who couldn’t figure out how to get out of performance mode yesterday…

The Analog 4 is freaking amazing. I hesitated to buy it because of all the talk about how it sounds flat. God, even if that were true it is beside the point. It’s like disregarding the OB-6 because you don’t like its percussion sounds.

I think A4 all naysayers should get stuck in performance mode. That’s where you realize what this machine can do. It’s mind-boggling. It’s a whole gig in a box.

I will spend the next year deep diving this thing and I doubt I will find the end of its abilities.

I have been hesitating in a very similar way with the decision to A4 or not to A4. As I mentioned somewhere else before I didn’t feel ready for this machine in the end.
However Elektronauts has been proven as an invaluable resource for in depth information about many not-so-obvious techniques and possibilities. If you haven’t already, you might have a look here: When did you start to have rewarding moments w/ A4. There’s more to be found in some other (sometimes very old) threads, too. Happy exploring!
