Use the Sample Play selector to determine how much of the sample is played.
One Shot: The entire sample will play from start to end. Use this when you want to play short sounds.
Note Off: The entire sample will play from start to end after the pad has been pressed and released.
Note On: The sample will play only as long as the pad is held. This is better for longer samples so you can
control a sound’s duration by pressing and holding its corresponding pad.
Use the Pad Polyphony field to determine how the pad’s sound behaves when multiple hits are registered. When set
to Mono, only one pad will sound at a time. If a pad is played while another (or the same one) is still playing its
sample/samples, the new pad will immediately mute all other currently playing pads in that program. When set to
Poly, several pads can be triggered at the same time (limited only by the total number of voices available). You can
also select a specific number of pads (2–32) so that you can trigger up to this many pads at the same time (unless
they exceed the total number of voices available).
The Simultaneous Play section lets you set up to four pads that can be triggered by pressing one pad only. This function
is useful for triggering a stack of sounds (e.g., layered kick drums). Use each Pad field to select the desired pad.
The Mute Target section lets you select up to four pads (in the same program) for the currently selected pad. When
the currently selected pad is played, it will immediately silence its mute targets. Use each Pad field to select the
desired mute target.
Tips:
This feature is useful for programming realistic hi-hats, especially if only the open or closed hat should be heard.
This feature is similar to the mute group feature, available for both drum programs and keygroup programs.
