3.2.1 The pads Orca PAD64-A has 64 high quality velocity & pressure sensitive performance pads with RGB backlit which can be assigned easily as midi notes or MIDI CC buttons. The pads can be used to trigger drum hits to our software or hardware module.
HANGZHOU BLUE WHALE MUSIC TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD HANGZHOU WORLDE MUSIC ELECTRONIC CO., LTD WEBSITE: WWW.WORLDE.COM.CN EMAIL:SALES@WORLDE.COM.CN TEL:86 571 88730848 3.2.3 Note button The 64 pads have dual modes: trigger pads mode and key note mode. Click the note button to start the key note mode of the 64 pads, in this mode press +/-button to increase or decrease the current note by semitone.
Every time you press a key, a MIDI note message is sent with a velocity value between 0 and the maximum; this value specifies how hard you pressed the key. Since different people have different playing styles, your Orca PAD64-A offers a number of different velocity curves.
When the RGB backlight is blue for this button, it works as Master volume button. Click this button to set the master volume of Orca PAD64-A. It sends GM Master Volume message(F0 7F 7F 04 01 00 xx F7). Press [Volume] button then press [<] or [>] button to control the volume of Orca PAD64-A.
Connect the Orca PAD64-A to your computer with a USB cable via this port. 3.2.14. [MIDI OUT] Connector Use a five-pin MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT of the Orca PAD64-A to the MIDI IN of an external device. 3.2.15. [AUDIO OUTPUT] Connector Use a 3.5mm audio cable to connect the Audio Output of Orca PAD64-A to the external audio device.
4.3.2 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-A 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-A pads to send those commands to a filter plug-in that should be readily available in your DAW software.
The upper right-hand section of the MIDI Control Center software has a button called “Send to Keyboard”. Right below that is a pull-down menu that allows you to specify which of the Orca PAD64-A’s four memory locations will be the repository for the Preset you’ve created.
Memory button and press one of the 4 pads on the top left 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-A preset memory locations.
