Percussion Pads

Using the Percussion Pads
Each of the five built-in percussion pads is assigned
the sound of a percussion instrument (ACOUSTIC
SNARE 1, OPEN HI-HAT, CLOSED HI-HAT, BASS
DRUM 1, HIGH TOM). Tapping a pad with your
finger plays the sound assigned to it.
Assigning Sounds to
Percussion Pads
You can assign the percussion sound you want to
each of the percussion pads.
NOTE
• Turning off power causes the sounds
assigned to the percussion pads to return to
their initial defaults.
