30. Pads: Use these pads to trigger drum hits or other samples. The pads are velocity-sensitive and pressure-

be temporarily copied to all 16 pads. The pads will play the same sample as the original pad, but a selectable

parameter will increase in value with each pad number, regardless of the amount of force you use. In the screen

that appears, use the Type selector to choose another parameter: Velocity, Tune, Filter, Layer, Attack or

Decay. See Operation > General Features > 16 Level

to learn more.

Press and hold Shift and press this button to activate/deactivate Notes mode for the pads. When activated, you

The rate is based on the current tempo and Timing Correct settings.
