How to use the KIT screen
Changing the current pad (PAD SELECT)

Although you can strike a pad with your stick to change the current pad, you can also do this with just the panel buttons.

  1. Hold down the [ENTER] button and press the cursor [ã] [â] buttons.


Locking the pads (PAD LOCK)

Use the pad lock feature to prevent the pads you set from switching when you strike them.

This is useful when you want to lock a certain pad while you’re editing, for example.

  1. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [MENU] button.

    The pad is locked, and an icon like the one in the illustration appears on the screen.

  2. To unlock, hold down the [SHIFT] button again and press the [MENU] button.


Checking the pad sounds in headphones only (PAD CHECK)

You can use just the headphones to check the sound of the pads you strike.

The following effects are not applied.

  • KIT MFX1–4
  • MASTER EFFECT
  • MASTER COMP
  • MASTER EQ


With this function, no sound is output from the MAIN/DIRECT OUT jacks, which is useful when you’re playing live or in similar situations where you want to preview the sound of the pads just by yourself.

  1. While holding down the [PAD CHECK] button, press the pad of the sound that you want to check.


Using the PAD PREVIEW/PLAYER function

With PAD PREVIEW, when you press the [PAD CHECK] button while it is blinking, you can check the sounds that are assigned to the pads at a fixed velocity.
With PAD PLAYER, you can operate the BWD, FWD, PLAY and other buttons while the PAD PREVIEW/PLAYER window is shown to play the sounds back from a specified time. This lets you play back a longer backing part from the middle to check it.

  1. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [PAD CHECK] button.

    The PAD CHECK button blinks and the PAD PREVIEW/PLAYER function turns on.

    Current Pad

    Selects the current pad.

    Velocity

    Set the velocity value used for previewing the sounds.

    [F3] BWD

    Moves the playback start position of the [F5] PLAY button five seconds earlier. When you press the button during playback, this rewinds five seconds.

    [F4] FWD

    Moves the playback start position of the [F5] PLAY button five seconds later. When you press the button during playback, this fast-forwards five seconds.

    [F5] PLAY (STOP) (*1)

    Press this button to play back from the start position that’s set.
    This changes to STOP when playing back, and playback stops when you press the button.

    [F6] CLOSE

    Closes the PAD PREVIEW/PLAY screen.

    *1: The LAYER “Loop” settings and “Decay” settings are disabled when you play back using the [F5] PLAY button.


  2. Press the [PAD CHECK] button.

    This lets you play the current pad (PREVIEW).



  3. To turn the PAD PREVIEW/PLAYER function off, press and hold down the [SHIFT] button again, and then press the [PAD CHECK] button to make PAD CHECK stop blinking.
