ACCENT
Each pad can be given an accent level which is invoked
when the ACCENT key is depressed in conjunction with
the given pad. The ACCENT level can actually be higher
or lower than the LEVEL setting.
Press ENT./REP. from the LEVEL display. Use the 4
and > keys to change the ACCENT level. The bar graph
in the display represents the level.
TUNING
Each pad can be tuned -8/+7 semitones from the drum's
original pitch. Several pads using the same drum could be
tuned differently to create tuned percussion.
Press ENT./REP. from the ACCENT display. Use the <
and ® keys to change the tuning. The graph in the
display increases as the pitch gets higher and decreases as
the pitch gets lower.
8 bars represent original pitch.
PAN
Each pad can be positioned anywhere in the stereo field
when both the LEFT and RIGHT outputs are used.
Press ENT./REP. from the TUNE display. Use the q and
b keys to place the sound. The graph in the display
indicates the left-to-right placement of the current
pad.
8 bars represent center position.
(O~7: Left, 9~15: Right)
GATE
Gating refers to cutting off part of a sound. A popular
recording technique today is to apply a gate to a reverbed
drum sound to choke the reverb effect off abruptly.
Press ENT./REP. from the PAN display. Each pad can be
given its own gate setting using the 4 and > keys to
select GATE 1, GATE 2 or GATE 3. GATE 0 indicates
no gating effect.
