Selecting pads without triggering samples?

[estragon]

Hi all - long time listener, first time caller. I've been getting adjusted to my new 303 for the last few days and have come across a rather irritating issue that I hope can be overcome - if I want to apply effects or change the volume of a sample already running in loop mode, I have hit the pad twice (one to stop and select it, one to start it again). Is there any way I can just select the pad without stopping it from playing?

Also, while I'm asking - does anyone know where I can get a hold on cheap-ish smartmedia cards in Melbourne? Or anywhere? Thanks!

I don't have mine working infront of me (the cord broke so it's dead for now) but I'm sure if you hold down remain, the pad that is selected will flash. I would imagine you would press the pad that you want, and then press the other pad to unselect it and then press the pad that you want again so that the only pad that is lit and blinking is the one you want to put effects on, then release remain. Check the manual though, keyword; remain because I'm not sure if that is the most efficient way to do it. Maybe you can just press remain and then press the pad you want and the other one will stop blinking. I'm not sure.
