No, that sets a "trigless trig". That's a position you can use for 
setting parameter locks or pitch without trigging any envelopes.

The trig select button do not actually change anything when you 
press it. You just cycle through the modes of entering and editing 
steps. 

Normally you set all three trig tracks, that conforms to how a 
normal sequencer works. If you want to transform a normal trig into 
a trigless, then you first set it to AMP, remove the trig, then set 
it to FIlTER, remove the trig and finally set it to LFO and remove 
the trig. For the individual trig-tracks you can see it change from 
red (the trig on this trig-track is set) to green (the trig on this 
track is not set, but something else is going on on this step).

To out a use of the individual trig tracks, program a sequence so 
that all trig-tracks are set (the normal ALL mode). Set the filter 
to decay to that it is open at the beginning of the note, and about 
half way down at the end of the 1/16 note. Play the sequence and 
listen to how the filter is lifted for each trig. Then change the 
trig-select to only affect the filter trig-track. Remove all trigs 
och the filter trig track so the leds turn green. Notice how the 
filter is never lifted. Now enter the filter trigs at some random 
positions, and notice how you can control the filter envelope 
individually from the note-trigs. 

This is just one way it could be used. Probably some of the most 
useful applications can come from setting the lfo to some ramp or 
exp form, and being able to easily control on which positions it 
should affect its destination.

Sorry if this is a bit unclear, it is a bit hard to explain when not 
having the unit in front, or being able to show some figures.
