By default, the pads are set to send MIDI notes on Channel 10, which is commonly reserved
for drums and percussion in the General MIDI (GM) specification. You can change this setting
if you want, though.
MIDI Notes
You can assign the pads to send MIDI note numbers.
To assign a MIDI note to a pad:
1. Press Edit to enter Edit Mode. The Edit button will light up.
2. Press the desired pad. The pad’s number will appear in the display.
3. Press the Ctrl Assign key. The display will show ASGN for 1 second and then show the
pad’s number (P__) and a number for the type of message it sends.
4. Use the numeric keys (0–9) to enter 147 (if the display does not already show it). This sets
the pad to send MIDI note messages.
5. Press the Data 1 key. The display will show DATA1 for 1 second and then show the pad’s
number (P__) and a number for the MIDI note.
6. Use the numeric keys (0–9) or Preset Down/Up () buttons to enter the desired note
number (001–127).
7. Press the Enter key. The pad is now set to send the assigned MIDI note, and you will exit
Edit Mode.
To cancel your changes instead, press Edit. You will exit Edit Mode without saving anything.
Remember to store the preset if you want to save your changes in that preset.
Tip: You can assign a button to send a Note On message when it is pressed one and send a
Note Off message when it is pressed a second time. To do this, follow the steps above, but
enter 148 (instead of 147) in Step 4.
