Global RPS Mode Settings
With this parameter:
You can:
Velocity Sens
determine the amount of velocity with
which the pad's sounds play. Select:
RPS Pad 1-16 Settings
With this parameter:
You can:
Phrase Number
choose the phrase the pad plays.
Play Mode
set how the phrase plays. To have it play:
Mute Group
set up phrases so they mute each other
without overlapping: triggering a new
phrase causes the currently playing
phrase to stop. This is especially useful
when you're sequencing a song structure.
If you construct a set of RPS phrases you'd like to keep, click F7 (Write)
to store it in the current project.
OFF—
to have the sounds play at
the velocity with which they were
sequenced. When you're constructing
a song using RPS, use this setting.
LOW—
to play the phrase's sounds
with a minimum of velocity.
MID—
to play the phrase's sounds
with medium velocity.
HIGH—
to play the phrase's sounds at
maximum velocity.
play over and over—
for as long as you
hold down its pad, set Play Mode to
LOOP1.
toggle on and off—
with each press of
its pad, set Play Mode to LOOP2.
play all the way through once and then
stop—set Play Mode to ONCE.
Pad Mode 6—Rhythm Ptn ("Pattern")
If you have sequenced phrases in a project that contain
beats, you can play them as rhythm patterns from the pads
or keys. When a pad's rhythm is playing, the pad flashes.
You can sequence the drum track for a song on the fly by triggering
rhythm patterns from the pads, and sequencing this performance.
Rhythm patterns are really just standard sequencer phrases that
contain beats. If there aren't any phrases in the current project,
there's nothing there to use as a rhythm pattern.
The difference between rhythm-pattern pad playback and RPS pad
playback is the set of playback options available for each.
Here are the rhythm-pattern pad settings:

set what the white keys from E1 to G2

NORMAL—
so the keys play the
keyboard part's sound.
RPS—
so the keys play the current
project's RPS phrases.
RHYTHM-PTN—
so the keys play the
current project's rhythm patterns.
