SAMPLE PAD.
As you may have figured out with our earlier mentions of the Single Play
screen's Part Number and Pad Part parameters, Single mode has parts just
like Live mode and Studio mode even though they're not quite as visible.
•
The keyboard in Single mode—
•
Single mode's sample set— uses Part 7.
•
Single mode's rhythm set— uses Part 8.
Each part has its own set of parameters that determine how the part plays its
sound. This lets you change the way a part's sound behaves without having
to actually re-program the sound itself. Once you store a part's settings—as
part of your system settings—any sound you select for the part will behave
accordingly. There are some very handy part parameters available.
To adjust part settings, click F3 (Part View) on the Single Play screen.
Use F1 (Group/Up) and F2 (Group/Down) to select the desired family of part
parameters.
On the Single mode Part View screen, you can change the part group
from which the keyboard draws its sound by clicking the part group's
F3-F6 button, or if you're using a mouse, clicking the desired part
group's name at the top of the screen. If you select EXP 1 or EXP 2,
you'll need to set the Patch/Number Name parameter to select the
desired sound after switching part groups, or return to the Single Play
screen and click F1 (Patch List) to find the ARX sound you want.
