Fade Point
Species the striking force at which instrument B will begin to be heard.
If this is “0,” instrument B will sound for strikes of any force.
If this is “127,” instrument B will sound only for the strongest strike.
* This parameter is unavailable if “Layer” is “OFF” or “MIX.”
Specifying how the sound will be produced (Trigger Mode)
This species how the sound will be produced when you strike the pad. You can also set this to loop a user instrument.
Trigger Mode
SHOT The sound will play each time you strike the pad. User instrument loop playback will be unavailable.
GATE
The sound will continue playing as long as you continue holding down the pad.
* This cannot be selected for an external expansion pad or the hi-hat control pedal.
ALT The sound will alternately play and stop each time you strike the pad.
Fixing the dynamics of the sound (Fixed Velocity)
Fixed Velocity
OFF The volume will be aected by the force of your strike.
1–127
The volume will be xed, regardless of the force of your strike. Specify the volume in the range of
1–127.
Preventing sounds from being heard together (Mute Group, Mono/Poly)
Mute Group
For example if you have assigned triangle open and closed sounds to two pads, you can assign them to the “Mute
Group” of the same number so that the open sound will stop when you play the closed sound.
OFF No Mute Group will be assigned.
1–8 Multiple pads assigned to the Mute Group of the same number will not sound simultaneously.
Mono/Poly
With the “POLY” setting, multiple notes will be heard overlapping when you strike the same pad repeatedly. With the
“MONO” setting, the previous note will be stopped before the newly played note is sounded; notes will not overlap.
This does not aect the sound of other pads.
