Setting the play type (PAD EDIT - PLAY TYPE)
When you strike a pad, a line is shown corresponding to the velocity (how hard you strike the pad).
Use the cursor [à] [á] [ã] [â] buttons to select a parameter, and use the [-] [+] buttons to edit the value.
Parameter | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
Play Type Template | SINGLE, PHRASE, LOOP, LOOP(Mute on Kit Change), HI-HAT | Sets how the wave plays.
SINGLE: Select this when playing single sounds like the kick, snare, clap and so on. PHRASE: Select this to play the wave as a phrase. LOOP:Select this when playing waves back repeatedly. LOOP (Mute on Kit Change): Select this when playing waves back repeatedly. However, if you switch to a different kit, the wave that’s playing back repeatedly stops playing. HI-HAT:Select this when using layer A for HH CLOSE and layer B for HH OPEN. You can connect a hi-hat pedal (sold separately) to the HH CTRL jack to switch between layer A and layer B. |
Dynamics Switch | OFF, ON | ON: Changes the volume according to the “Dynamics Curve” settings, in response to how hard you strike the pads. OFF: When you strike a pad, the sound plays at the volume you set in “Fixed Velocity”. |
Dynamics Curve | LINEAR, LOUD1, LOUD2, LOUD3 | When this is set to “LINEAR”, the sound changes volume naturally according to how hard you strike the pads. When this is set to “LOUD 1” through “LOUD 3”, louder sounds are more readily produced. |
Fixed Velocity | 1–127 | When “Dynamics Switch” is OFF, this sets the velocity value at which the waves are played. |
Trigger Reserve | OFF, ON | When this is “ON”, you can play the pad ahead of the click accent timing to “reserve” the note. “Reserving” a note makes it play at the next click accent position. When the click is not playing back, the sound plays back at the same timing when you strike the pad as when “Trigger Reserve” is “OFF”. |
Layer Type | MIX, FADE1, FADE2, XFADE, SWITCH, SW (MONO), ALTERNATE, HI-HAT | MIX: The waves for layer A and layer B are always played together as a layer. FADE1: When you strike the pad at the Fade Point velocity or harder, layer B also plays together as a layer. FADE2: When you strike the pad at the Fade Point velocity or harder, the sound of layer B is added in as a layer, according to how hard you play. Layers A and B play back at the same volume when you strike the pad at the Fade End velocity. This basically works the same as FADE2, but layer A sounds quieter when you strike the pad stronger than the Fade Point velocity up through the Fade End velocity. SWITCH: Switches between layers according to how hard you play. Layer A plays when you strike the pad at a level weaker than the Fade Point velocity; and layer B plays when you strike the pad at a level stronger than the Fade Point velocity. SW (MONO): Basically the same as SWITCH, but only the most recent sound that LAYER A/B plays is heard (monophonic mode), so that newer sounds you play override the previous ones. ALTERNATE: Layers A and B play back alternately. HI-HAT: Use this in conjunction with the HH CTRL pedal. When you depress the HH CTRL pedal, the layer A (HH CLOSE) sound plays. When you release the HH CTRL pedal, the layer B (HH OPEN) sound plays. Assign the HH closed sound to layer A and the HH open sound to layer B. |
Fade Point | 1–127 | Sets the force of the strike at which layer B begins to sound. With a “1” setting, layer B plays regardless of how hard you strike the pad. This is only enabled when Layer Type = FADE1, FADE2, XFADE, SWITCH or SW (MONO). |
Fade End | 1–127 | Sets the end point of the fade or crossfade range when the Layer Type is “FADE2” or “XFADE”. |
LAYER A/B
Parameter | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
Loop | OFF, ON, X2, X4, X8, ON (MUTE on KitChg) | Sets how many times a wave repeats. When this is “ON”, the wave keeps repeating. On (MUTE on KitChg): The wave repeats until you switch to a different kit. Switching kits stops the loop playback. |
Trigger Type | ONESHOT, ALTERNATE | Sets how the waves play back when you strike the pad. ONE SHOT: The wave sounds each time you strike the pad. ALTERNATE: The wave sounds each time you strike the pad. |
Poly/Mono | POLY, MONO | Sets whether the waves play in polyphonic or monophonic mode. POLY: When a sound is already playing, the new sound plays on top of it. MONO: When a sound is already playing, the new sound overrides it. |
Button | Explanation |
|---|---|
[F1] (MULTI VIEW) | When the check box is selected, the setting value for the selected parameter is shown in the list of pads at right. This is useful when you want to set a parameter such as the volume for each layer, all at once. 1. Use the cursor [à] [á] buttons to select a parameter. 2. Press the cursor [ã] button to move the cursor to the pad. 3. Press a cursor [à] [á] [ã] [â] button or strike a pad to select the pad you wish to set. 4. Use the [-] [+] buttons or the [VALUE] knob to edit the value. |
[F2] (LAYER) | Turns layer A on/off. |
[F4] (LAYER) | Turns layer B on/off. |
[F6] (LAYER COPY) | Copies or swaps a layer. |
[SHIFT] + [F4] (SET ALL) | Copies a parameter to multiple PAD/TRIGGER IN/FOOT SW all at once. From: Select copy source PAD 1–9, TRIGGER IN 1–8 or FOOT SW 1–2. To: Select copy destination PAD 1–9, TRIGGER IN 1–8, FOOT SW 1–2 or ALL. [F4] (EXIT): Cancels the operation. [F6] (SET ALL): Copies the data. |
[SHIFT] + [F5] (PAD INIT) | Initializes the selected pad. |
[SHIFT] + [F6] (PAD COPY) | Copies a pad. |
