Playing a part’s sound
Unlit
When the top four buttons are all unlit, you can press a pad to play
the note of a part that’s set in PAD NOTE, just like when you play
sounds with the keyboard.
You can specify the part, note number and velocity per pad, for the
tone that sounds. For instance, you can use the pads to play the
instruments of the part R drum kit while using the keyboard to play
the tone of part 1.
* The settings for each pad are saved in the system. You can’t
congure the pad settings for each scene.
MEMO
You can specify the part, note number and velocity per pad in the
system settings. See SYSTEM EDIT > PAD NOTE in the “Parameter
Guide” (Roland website) for details.
Toggling the keyboard switch
Lit
When only the [MUTE] button is lit amongst the top four buttons, the
eight pads function as keyboard switches.
Pads 1–8 correspond to the keyboard switches for parts 1–R.
MEMO
By pressing the pads while holding down the [SHIFT] button, you
can toggle the current parts on/o.
¹ When pad is lit green: currently selected part (current part)
¹ When pad is lit white: part that’s layered with the currently
selected part (parts whose keyboard switch is ON)
* When the current part’s keyboard switch is ON, the other parts
whose keyboard switch is ON play at the same time.
* When the current part’s keyboard switch is OFF, only the selected
part can be played.
Using the phrase pads
You can use the eight phrase pads to trigger the part sounds and play back audio les.
The functions you can access from the pads depend on which of the four buttons ([SEQUENCER] , [RHYTHM] , [AUDIO] , [MUTE]) is selected at the
top of the phrase pad.
