• Template Set
Value
Note: The sixteen consecutive notes starting with the
note number you specify as the base note will be
automatically assigned to the pads.
The note numbers will be arranged optimally for
Rhythm:
playing a rhythm set.
Multi Velo: Multi Velocity is a special setting that assigns all
sixteen pads to the same number, with only the
velocities differing between the pads. This is a
good choice when you need precise control of the
velocity for your performance.
• Base Note
Set this parameter if you've selected Note or Multi Velo as the
Template Set.
If you've selected Note, the Base Note specifies the starting
(lowest) note number.
If you've selected Multi Vel, the Base Note specifies the note
number used by all of the pads.
Value: 0 (C-1)–127 (G9)
