Pads

You can assign each of the 8 pads to a different note, chord, MIDI controller destination,
program parameter or Riff. First, use the Chan/Zone buttons to the left of the display to select
the desired zone that you wish to assign a pad to. Next, use the cursor buttons to select the
Control field, and select a pad by holding the Enter button on the alphanumeric pad and pressing
the desired pad. With the Controller field selected you can also select the desired pad by using
the Alpha Wheel or -/+ buttons. Next, use the cursor buttons to move to the Type field and
select one of the options with the Alpha Wheel or -/+ buttons. In the Type field, select Note to
assign a note, Chord to assign a chord, Switch to assign a MIDI continuous controller
destination or program parameter, or Riff to assign a Riff. Lastly, use the Zone field to set the
desired zone that you wish to control with the current pad. You can control either the current
zone, or all zones. See below for parameter explanations of each Pad control Type:
Note, Chord
With Note or Chord selected in the Type field, you can assign the pad to play a single note or
chord of up to 8 notes.
Key Number (KeyNum)
Use the KeyNum field to select the note to be played. The note is displayed by MIDI note name.
To select a note, select the KeyNum field with the cursor buttons, hold the Enter button on the
alphanumeric pad, then play the desired note on the keyboard. You can also change the note in
the field by using the Alpha Wheel or -/+ buttons.
