Many edit screens require you to hit a pad or press 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 CURSOR (TRIG) 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.

Example: Adjusting the Snare Volume
1. Press [FADER] so the upper indicator is lit.
2. Move the [GROUP FADERS] [SNARE] slider.
The slider position shows the current snare volume.
* After switching with [FADER], the values for the [GROUP
FADERS] sliders may not reflect the actual volume of the
sound assigned to that fader. So after switching, be sure to
move the faders a bit before making your setting.
* This will NOT affect the independent volume balance for each
kit in: Mixer Settings (p. 39).
