Playing Tones
(Note Pad)
In the same way as using the keyboard to play sounds, you can play
tones by pressing the pads. Since you can specify the zone, note
number, and velocity for each pad, you can (for example) use the
keyboard to play the tone of zone 1 while using the pads to play
the drum kit tone of zone 10.
MEMO
Settings for each pad are saved as system settings. You can't make
pad settings independently for each scene.
Pressing a pad will play a tone according to the settings of
each pad.
