Explanation
Pad number affected by the D Beam
Strength of the pad sound played by the D Beam controller
Specifies how the D Beam will behave when it is obstructed.
MOMENTARY: The parameter will be on only while the D Beam is obstructed, and will turn off
when you stop obstructing it.
LATCH: The parameter will alternately be switched on/off each time you obstruct the D Beam.
Explanation
Function controlled by the D Beam controller
CC01–31, 33–95: Controller numbers 1–31, 33–95
BEND UP: Controls the pitch as specified by the "Pitch Bend Range Up" setting (p. 41).
BEND DOWN: Controls the pitch as specified by the "Pitch Bend Range Down" setting (p. 41).
START/STOP: Starts/Stops the sequencer.
TAP TEMPO: Tap tempo (a tempo specified by the interval at which you move your hand over the
D Beam controller).
ARP GRID: Arpeggio Grid
ARP DURATION: Duration of each arpeggiated note
ARP MOTIF: Arpeggio Motif
ARP OCTAVE UP: The range in which the arpeggio is sounded will rise in steps of an octave (max-
imum 3 octaves).
ARP OCTAVE DOWN: The range in which the arpeggio is sounded will lower in steps of an octave
(maximum 3 octaves).
Lower limit of the range of the D Beam controller
Upper limit of the range of the D Beam controller.
By setting Range Max below Range Min you can invert the range of change.

PAD trigger settings are saved independently for each
performance as part of the performance settings. This lets you
create performances that make effective use of controller
settings.
If Patch mode is selected, this is saved as part of the system
settings. If you want to save the settings, press [F6 (WRITE)].
