Parameter Description
KEYBOARD (Button 2) Activates/deactivates Keyboard mode. In this mode your pads play
notes of the focused Sound at 16 different pitches. This is well
suited for melodic instruments. The right display indicates the
pitches played by each pad. See the next paragraph for a detailed
description of this mode. Please note that Keyboard mode is not
compatible with 16 Velocities mode (see below).
16 VEL (Button 3) Activates/deactivates 16 Velocities mode. In this mode your pads play
the same note of the focused Sound but with 16 different velocity
values. This can be useful to play or program complex drum fills. The
right display indicates the velocity values for each pad. The pitch of
the played note is defined by the base key (see section ↑5.1.3,
Adjusting the Base Key). Please note that 16 Velocities mode is not
compatible with Keyboard mode (see above) nor the Fixed Velocity
option (see below).
FIX VEL (Button 4) Activates/deactivates the Fixed Velocity option. This option is
available when your pads are in Group mode (default mode) or
Keyboard mode. With this option enabled, your pads play at the
same volume no matter how hard you hit the pads. Obviously, this
option is not compatible with the 16 Velocities mode described
above: hence, their buttons are mutually exclusive.
