Akai XR 20 Reference Manual page 24

PAGE 2: INSTRUMENT LAYER VOLUME
This page allows you to adjust the volume of each
instrument layer (drums, 1-shot, synth). Adjusting
this level will affect all the sounds in the selected
layer.
To adjust the volume of an instrument layer:
1. Select the instrument layer which you would
like to edit by pressing DRUM, 1-SHOT or
SYNTH.
2. Adjust the overall volume with the INC / DEC buttons, the VALUE dial or the number
buttons (99 = MAXIMUM VOLUME, 0 = OFF)
PAGE 3: ASSIGNING SOUNDS TO PADS
You can assign any of the XR20's sounds to any of
the pads, or to more than one pad. Each individual
Drum Set can have its own drum sound
assignment. However, please note that Synth
sounds can only be selected as a group (i.e. you
cannot assign different Synth sounds to different
pads).
To assign a sound to a pad:
1. Select the instrument layer which you would like to edit by pressing DRUM, 1-SHOT or
SYNTH. (Note that Synth sounds can only be modified as a group).
2. Press the pad (the display will show the pad number in the upper right corner and the
name of the sound assigned to the pad on the top line).
3. Enter the desired sound number with the number buttons, the INC / DEC buttons or
the VALUE dial. When using the number buttons, enter a leading zero if necessary.
PAGE 4: PAD VOLUME
Each pad's volume can be adjusted on this page.
To change a pad's volume:
1. Select the sound set which you would like to
edit by pressing DRUM or 1-SHOT. Note that
this parameter is not available for Synth
sounds. The volume of the Synth sounds can
only be adjusted as a group (see "Instrument
Layer Volume" above).
2. Press the pad (the display will show the
selected pad number in the upper right corner
and the volume setting for the pad on the top
line).
3. Enter the desired volume, from 00 (off) to 99 (maximum volume), with the number
keypad, INC / DEC buttons or VALUE dial.
