MEMO
If you press the [F5] (H&R) button to turn it "ON, " you can simultaneously make settings for the head area and rim area, etc.
* If the routing setting (p. 29) PadEq/Comp to direct is "OFF, " the pad equalizer effect does not apply to the sound that is output from the DIRECT OUT jacks.
* If the routing setting (p. 29) PadEq/Comp to direct is "OFF, " and Master OUT is set to "DIRECT, " the pad equalizer effect does not apply to the sound that is output from the DIRECT
OUT jacks and MASTER OUT jacks.

PAD COMP (page 3)

This is a compressor that each drum kit provides for each pad.
The pad compressor effect can be applied only to the output from the DIRECT OUT jacks. You can also disable the pad compressor effect from being
applied to the PHONES jack output (p. 29).

* Pad compressor settings are made for individual pads. They cannot be made for individual strike locations (such as the head or rim).
* If the routing setting (p. 29) PadEq/Comp to direct is "OFF, " the pad compressor effect does not apply to the sound that is output from the DIRECT OUT jacks.
* If the routing setting (p. 29) PadEq/Comp to direct is "OFF, " and Master Out is set to "DIRECT, " the pad compressor effect does not apply to the sound that is output from the
DIRECT OUT jacks and the MASTER OUT jacks.
* If the routing setting (p. 29) PadComp to Phones is "OFF, " the pad compressor effect does not apply to the sound that is output from the PHONES jacks.

* When you change this parameter, the pad compressor's parameters Ratio, Knee, Attack, and
Release change to optimal settings for your selection. You can then make further adjustments to
these parameters as necessary.
