By using a special cable (PCS-31; sold separately) to connect two footswitches (FS-5U; sold separate-
MEMO
ly) to the FOOT SW jack, you can change parameter values by remote control. While in Edit Mode,
when you press Footswitch 1 you will advance to the next higher parameter value, and when you press
Footswitch 2 you will go down to the next lower parameter value (p. 15). If you connect a single
footswitch (DP-2; sold separately) you can only move up to a higher parameter value, not down to a
lower parameter value.
Setting all pads to the same parameter value
If you press [ALL/ENTER] after step 8, the displayed parameter value will be set for all pads of the cur-
rently selected pad bank.

If you are making settings for one of the SPD-20's pads, the settings will be applied to all 8 pads. If
MEMO
you are making settings for an external pad, the settings will be applied to all 4 of the external pads,
and all 4 of the external rims.
By assigning the same Instrument to all the pads and setting a different pitch for each, you can play
melodies. The following procedure is an example using a melodic percussion Instrument (M01–M59).
1. Set the INST parameter in the SOUND parameter group to the desired Instrument.
2. Press [ALL/ENTER] to set all pads to the same sound.
3. Adjust the PITCH parameter for each pad.
To edit the other pad bank of the layered sound, repeat steps 5–8.
When you finish making settings, press [EDIT] to return to the Play
mode.
