Customizing the Pads
You can customize the drum pads by adjusting their playing
sensitivity, changing their drum key assignments, and more. To
start, press PAD SETTING to display the Pad Setting screen.
Settings That Apply to All the Pads
In the lower right-hand corner of the Pad Setting screen, you'll
find settings that affect all 16 drum pads.
• Pad Common Velo—sets the velocity responsiveness for all
of the pads. If you want the pads to respond to the force
of your touch, select REAL. If you want the pads to act as if
you're always playing at a fixed velocity, select the desired
velocity number (1-127).
• Pad Sens—determines the amount of force that's required
to play a pad's rhythm set at maximum velocity.
• Aftertouch Sens—adjusts the pad's overall sensitivity to
finger pressure.
• Roll Resolution—sets the musical note value for rolls played
on the ROLL pad.
The Roll Resolution note value is a subdivision of a single beat. Therefore,
the speed of the roll is also influenced by the current Tempo setting.
Changing a Pad's Drum Key and Velocity Sensitivity
You can change the drum key played by a pad, and change the
pad's velocity sensitivity:
1. On the Pad Setting screen, strike the desired pad to select
it. The currently selected pad is highlighted in orange on
the display, and its name appears next to "Pad Number. "
2. Use 3, 4, 5 and/or 6 to highlight the Note Number
value.
3. Turn the VALUE dial to select the desired drum key.
4. Use 3, 4, 5 and/or 6 to highlight the Velocity value.
5. Turn the VALUE dial to choose the desired setting. If
COMMON is selected, the pad's velocity response is the
global Pad Common Velo value. If you want the pad to
produce a fixed velocity, select that velocity value (1-127).
6. Repeat Steps 1-5 to change the drum key assignment and
velocity sensitivity for other drum pads as desired.
Exchanging Settings Between Two Pads
It's often handy to swap the drum key settings of two pads:
1. On the Pad Setting screen, press F6 (Pad Exchg)—the bottom
of the screen shows the Pad Exchange parameters.
2. Use 3 and 4 and the VALUE dial to select the two pads
whose settings you wish to exchange.
3. Press F8 (Exec) to perform the swap or F7 (Exit) to cancel
the procedure.
