A note about Sound banks and names. Sounds in banks from
"PIANO" to "SFX" are standard Sounds, the user can't directly
modify.
Sounds in banks "USER1" and "USER2" are locations where you
can load new Sounds from an external device, or save new or
edited Sounds.

save new or edited Drum Kits.
Each Sound bank contains various pages, each with up to eight
Sounds. Repeatedly press a bank button to cycle between the
available pages.

tons to trigger up to four sounds or sequences at the same time.
• Press a single PAD button to trigger a single sound or
sequence.

You can stop all sequences, or just some of them, by pressing the
STOP button of the PAD section:
• Press STOP to stop all sequences at once.
• Keep STOP pressed and press one (or more) of the PAD
buttons to stop the corresponding sequence(s).
Note: Pads are automatically stopped when selecting one of the
Endings.
Note: Pads share polyphony voices with the other tracks, so avoid
using too many of them together with a dense Style or Song
arrangement.
About Pad synchronization. In Style Play mode, Pads are sync'd
to the Style's tempo. In Song Play mode, they are sync'd to the
latest Sequencer you set to play. For example, assume you
pressed SEQ2-PLAY; when pressing one of the PAD buttons, it
will play in sync with Sequencer 2.
Note: There is no synchronization with MP3 files. Pads can only be
synchronized to Standard MIDI Files. Therefore, when an MP3 file
is assigned to the last select Sequencer, Pads will synchronize to the
last Standard MIDI File that has been played back.
About Pads' and the Sequencers' Play command. When you
press one of the PLAY buttons to start the corresponding
Sequencer, all Pads will stop playing.
You can jump to the Style Play > Pad/Assignable Switch
page by keeping SHIFT pressed, and pressing one of the PAD
buttons.
If you keep the SHIFT button pressed,
and press this button, the Voice Processor Preset
> Preset page will appear (see "Voice Processor
