The Pads

What is a Pad?
Pads are single-track hits (One Shot type) or cycling sequences (Loop type), that
you can instantly play with the dedicated
buttons.
A maximum of four Pads can play at the same time in a Player. Loop-type Pads
play in time with the Style or the MIDI Song. They are transposed according to
the recognized chords.
Choosing a combination of Pads
Each of the Players can have its own set of four Pads. A set of Pads can be recalled
by a Style or a SongBook Entry.
