Playing in Patch Mode

In Patch mode, the keyboard and the pads are each used to play a
single sound (patch/rhythm set).
The keyboard controller section and the pad controller section each
have their own sound generator part, and each are connected by
their own MIDI channel. This means you can play separate sounds
on the keyboard and the pads.
