Playing Back Patterns by
Striking the Pads
(Pad Pattern Function)
You can set up a pattern beforehand and then strike a pad to
start the performance of the pattern (press [INST] - [F4
(CONTROL)] - [F1 (PATTERN)]; p. 37).
Some factory set drum kits (Preset drum kits) have this
function set.
* When playing back patterns with recorded drum kit
performances or demo songs, the patterns assigned to the pads
are not played back, even if the Pad Pattern function is enabled
for the selected drum kit.
* Performances using the Pad Pattern function cannot be
recorded to sequencers.
* With Pad Pattern, performance of the pattern starts only when
the pad is struck with sufficient force.
If the pad is struck weakly, only the instrument sound assigned
to the pad is played; the pattern is not played back.
