Pad Chord Table

Wrap Around
The wrap-around point is the highest register limit for the Pad
track. The Pad pattern will be transposed according to the
detected chord. If the chord is too high, the Pad track might play
in a register that is too high, and therefore unnatural. If, how-
ever, it reaches the wrap-around point, it will be automatically
transposed an octave lower.
The wrap-around point can be individually set in semitone steps
up to a maximum of 12 semitones, relative to the chord root set
in the main page of the Pad Record mode (see "Key/Chord" on
page 134).
1...12 Maximum transposition (in semitones) of the
track, referred to the original key of the Pad pat-
tern.
Pad Chord Table
This is the page where you can assign a Chord Variation to each
of the most important recognized chord. When a chord is recog-
nized, the assigned Chord Variation will be automatically
selected by the arranger to play the Pad track.
Chord / Chord Variation
Use these parameters to assign a Chord Variation to each of the
most important chords.

Import: Import Groove

The Import Groove function allows the loading of MIDI
Grooves (".GRV" files) generated by the Slice function (see
"Time Slice" in the Sampling mode). By importing these data to
the Pad track, and assigning the Sound based on the sliced sam-
ples to the same track, you can play the original audio groove,
and freely change its tempo.
From
PAD
Use this parameter to select one of the MIDI Groove patterns
(".GRV" files) generated when saving data after a Time Slice
operation.
To CV (Chord Variation)
Use this parameter to select the target Chord Variation.

Import: Import SMF

The Import SMF function allows you to import MIDI data from
a Standard MIDI File (SMF) created on your preferred external
sequencer, and transform them in a Chord Variation.
When programming a Chord Variation on the external
sequencer, please assign the Pad track to the MIDI channel #10.
Note: Only SMF in format 0 can be loaded.

first Chord Variation of the Pad, and uncheck it when importing
the following Chord Variations.
To CV
Use this parameter to select a target Chord Variation.
Execute
After setting all parameters in this page, press this button to
import the Standard MIDI File into the target Chord Variation.
