The RGB backlit pads are great for triggering samples or beats. Use the shift button to select different MIDI presets and channels, and the pad button to switch between the two banks of pads. The rotary encoders let you adjust various parameters on your MIDI software.

When not in use, store it safely to prevent any damage.
