Pad Play Modes Section (Drum Programs Only)
Here, you can set the behavior for each pad's samples in a Drum
Program.
Mute Groups let you assign the selected pad to one of the 32
available groups. When pads assigned to the same Mute Group
receive MIDI notes, the last pad played will silence all other pads in
that Mute Group.
Tip: This feature is useful for programming realistic hi-hats, especially if only the open or closed hat
should be heard.
Layer Play determines how multiple samples assigned to the same pad are played:
Cycle (Cyc): Each time the pad is played, it will play the next layer's sample. In other words, the
samples will cycle through the layers as follows: 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4… etc.
Velocity (Vel): The pad will switch between layers depending on how hard you press a pad.
Random (Ran): Each time the pad is played, it will play one its layer's samples at random.
Sample Play determines how much of the sample is played. Note-On (only as long as the note is held).
One-Shot: The entire sample will play from start to end. Use this when you want to play short
soundas.
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.
Pad Play lets you select between two options: In Mono Mode, only one pad will sound at a time. If a pad
is played while another (or the same one) is still playing its sample(s), the new pad will immediately mute
all other currently playing pads in that Program. In Poly Mode, several pads can be triggered at the same
time (limited only by the total number of voices available).
Hardware: To edit the Pad Play Modes parameters, press the F5 button (Lfo Mod). Use Q-Link Knobs
Q13Q16 for direct access of all 4 parameters. These parameters are available only in Drum Programs.
