5.1.3 Assign a couple of Pads to MIDI notes The natural thing to do when you’re starting a song is to lay down the kick and snare tracks. The Orca PAD64 pads can be assigned to any MIDI note number that you like, so for this example we’ll set Pads 1 and 2 to trigger the General MIDI note numbers for the Bass drum and Snare drum (MIDI note numbers 36 and 38, respectively).
One popular musical effect these days is to take an audio loop, filter it heavily for certain sections of a song, and switch it back to the full-open sound later in the song. You can pre-configure one of the Orca PAD64 pads to send those commands to a filter plug-in that should be readily available in your DAW software.
/ stop the song; one of the encoders is controlling the vibrato rate, and the Mod strip is controlling Aftertouch. Not bad! There’s a lot more Orca PAD64 can do, but that’s a good start. So the next thing to do is make sure this configuration is available when you want it. To do that, you need to save these settings as a group into one of the eight memory locations in the Orca PAD64.
Memory button and press one of the 4 pads as shown in picture below. In the picture above the combination of the Memory button and Pad 2 will select Preset #2 from the Orca PAD64 preset memory locations.
