• Note (Pad Note)
Specifies the note number of the pad when Pad Set is set to
"User."
Value: C-1–G9
• Velocity (Pad Velocity)
When Pad Set is set to "User," specifies the loudness of the
sound produced by striking the pad.
If you set this to REAL, you can vary the dynamics of the sound
by varying the strength with which you press the pad.
Value: REAL, 1–127
• Pad Common Velo (Pad Common Velocity)
Specifies the loudness of the sound produced when you strike the
pad. If you set this to "REAL," you can vary the loudness by varying
the striking force. This setting is common to all sixteen pads.
* If you have specified multi-velocity (p. 170), that setting will be used.
Range: REAL, 1–127

Light:
Specifies a light playing touch for the pads. Even light
strikes on the pad will produce loud sounds, compared
to the Medium setting.
Medium: Specifies the standard playing touch for the pads. This
provides the normal playing feel.
Heavy: Specifies a heavier playing touch for the pads. Since
loud sounds will be produced only when you strike the
pads more strongly than usual, this produces the
sensation that the playing touch is heavier.
• Aftertouch Sens (Aftertouch Sensitivity)
Specifies the Aftertouch sensitivity. Higher values will allow
Aftertouch to be applied more easily. Normally you will leave
this at "100."
Value: 0-100

Multi-Velocity

You can use the sixteen pads to play a specified note at sixteen
velocity levels. The same note number will be sounded by all sixteen
pads. This function can be useful when you are having difficulty
inputting the velocities you intend.
1. From the Pad Setting screen, press [7 (Multi Velo)].
The Multi Velocity Setup window will appear.

If you want to turn off multi-velocity, press [7 (Multi Velo)] once
again to remove the check mark.
