The Pads

The Pads
Each Style can assign different sounds or patterns to the four PADS. These sounds or patterns can be
played along with the Keyboard and Style tracks.
1
Press one of the four PADS.
2
If the selected PAD triggers an endless sound or pattern (i.e. an applause, or a guitar
arpeggio), pressing STOP will stop that sound.
3
Select a different Style, and see how the sounds or patterns assigned to the PADS
change.
You can even press more Pads at once, and play two or more sounds or patterns at the same time.
Pressing STOP stops them all at the same time. Keeping STOP pressed and pressing one of the
PAD buttons only stops that sound or pattern.

Adjusting balance between the Style and the keyboard

Balancing between the Keyboard and Style tracks may be useful, to gently fade them and adjust their
respective volume.
While the Style is playing, use the BALANCE slider (next to the MASTER VOLUME slider)
•
to balance between the Keyboard and Style tracks' volume.
