the 16 pads will play the sound at no tuning change. Regardless
of this center pad, higher numbered pads play higher chromatic
tunings and lower numbered pads play lower chromatic tunings.
In order to limit the entire tuning range of the 16 pads to within
+/- one octave, only pads 4 through 13 can be selected. For
example, if pad 4 is selected, the tuning range is from -30 (-3
semitones at pad 1) through 0 (no tuning change at pad 4) to
+120 (+12 semitones at pad 16).
To turn the 16 Levels function on:
1. Press the 16 LEVELS key. The 16 Levels screen will
appear.
2. Press the pad of the drum you want to use. The Note
field will immediately show the note number assigned to
that pad along with the pad number pressed and the
currently assigned sound name.
3. Set the Param field to the desired parameter, and, if
NOTE VAR is selected, also set the Note Variation Pa-
rameter field to the right.
4. Press the <Turn on, exit> soft key. This will turn the
light above the 16 LEVELS key on and cause the Play/
Record screen to be displayed. Now the sound you se-
lected will play from all 16 pads, but at 16 fixed levels of
the parameter you selected.
To turn the 16 Levels function off:
Press the 16 LEVELS key again. The light will go out, indicating
that normal pad function has returned.
