Pad Link

Pad Link can be used to trigger multiple Sounds when pressing only one pad:
▪ Each pad of the selected Group can be assigned to one of eight Pad Link groups.
▪ A pad assigned to such a Pad Link group may be set as a Master or Slave in that Pad Link
group:
◦ By default, the pad is set to Master and will trigger the other pads in the same Pad
Link group.
◦ A pad set to Slave will only trigger its own Sound, even if it is part of a Pad Link
group. On the other hand its Sound will also be triggered by every pad set to Master
within the same Pad Link group.
▪ You may set more than one pad as Master or Slave within the same group.
Assigning a Pad to a Pad Link Group
To assign a pad to a Pad Link group:
Parameter Description
Activates/deactivates the Fixed Velocity option. This option is available when your
pads are in Group mode (default mode) or Keyboard mode. With this option ena-
bled, your pads play at the same volume no matter how hard you hit the pads.
Obviously, this option is not compatible with the 16 Velocities mode described
above: hence, their buttons are mutually exclusive.
Configures Pad Link for the selected pad. Pad Link can be used to trigger multi-
ple Sounds when pressing only one pad. See section
In Group mode, this defines the key (or pitch) at which the selected Sound will
be played. In Keyboard mode, this determines the base key for the MIDI note
mapping on the right display. The value chosen for the base key will be assigned
to pad 1; the assignment of the other pads will be reflected accordingly.
Here you can adjust the exact velocity value used in the Fixed Velocity mode
(see above).
