If you are using an external footswitch (sold separately) connected to the KICK input on the back of the Performance Pad,
pressing it down will generate a bass kick drum and MIDI note #36.
If you are using an external footswitch (sold separately) connected to the HI-HAT input on the back of the Performance
Pad, pressing it down will simulate the behavior of a closed hihat and generate a closed hi-hat sound (MIDI note #42) evry
time it is pressed down. While the footswitch is pressed down, hitting the OPEN HI-HAT pad will generate a closed hihat
sound (MIDI note #42). When you release the footswitch, hitting the OPEN HI-HAT pad will generate an open hihat
sound.
NOTE: For best results, strike the middle of the pad. Striking the edge of the pad could
result in the triggering of an adjacent pad.
