Many edit screens require you to hit a pad or the [PREVIEW]
button to access the parameters you want. The upper right of
the display will show the number and trigger input jack name
of the corresponding pad. The first character ("H" or "R")
stands for Head or Rim. ([RIM] lights up when played.)
You can use the TRIGGER SELECT buttons and [PREVIEW]
to get the same results. In cases where settings for the head
and rim can be edited separately, the following characters will
also be displayed.
