5.
Use the cursor left/right keys to select an
item to set. The following items are
available.
• Instrument sound
Lets you select a single drum/percussion sound from the
currently selected drum sound set to assign to a pad. For
a list of numbers and corresponding sound names, refer
to the appendix at the end of this manual.
• PITCH
Adjusts the pitch of the drum/percussion sound for the
pad. The setting range is -7.9 – 0 (reference pitch) – 7.9,
in steps of 0.1 (1/10 of a semitone).
• LEVEL
Adjusts the output level for the pad. The setting range is
0 – 15.
HINT
When you press the [DRUM MIXER] key at the drum kit
selection screen, you can use faders 1 – 8 and 9/10 – 15/16
to set the LEVEL parameter (
• PAN (Panning)
Adjusts the left/right stereo position (panning) for the
pad. The setting range is L63 (far left) – 0 (center) – R63
(far right).
HINT
The panning value set here is valid regardless of the track
parameter pan setting. When you set the track parameter
pan to left/right, the left/right volume balance changes while
the positioning of each pad is retained.
• GROUP (Pad group)
Selects the type of sound produced when pads are hit in
succession (PL/MN) and the group to which the pad
belongs (0 – 7). The setting range is PL0 – PL7 and MN0
– MN7. When PL is selected, hitting same pad in
succession will produce overlapping sound, i.e. the
previous sound continues while the next one starts. When
MN is selected, the previous sound stops when the next
one starts.
GROUP=PL

GROUP=MN
The numbers 0 – 7 specify the group to which the pad
belongs (0 = no group, 1 – 7: respective group). Pads in
the same group cannot produce sound at the same time.
For example, if you assign an open hi-hat sound and
closed hi-hat sound to two pads in the same group, the
open hi-hat sound will cease when you play the closed hi-
hat sound, resulting in realistic action.
• REV SEND (Reverb send)
Sets the reverb send level for each pad. The setting range
is 0 – 127. This setting is independent from the reverb
send level setting made as part of the track parameters.
• NAME (Drum kit name)
Lets you change the name of the drum kit
