PAD1 Pos CC
OFF, 1, 2, 4, 11, 16, 
17, 18, 19
Sets the controller number used for 
transmitting/receiving the strike point of 
pad 1.
PAD2 Pos CC
Sets the controller number used for 
transmitting/receiving the strike point of 
pad 2.
Pitch Ctrl CC
When the Pedal setting is “Pitch,” this 
sets the controller number used for 
transmitting/receiving the expression pedal 
depth values (how deeply you press the 
pedal).
HI-Reso Velocity OFF, ON
Sets CC#88 (high resolution velocity prex) 
to enabled (ON) or disabled (OFF).
If this is disabled, the maximum velocities 
supported by this instrument are limited 
to 127.
Prog Change Tx OFF, ON
Sets whether program change messages 
are sent (on/o).
Prog Change Rx OFF, ON
Sets whether program change messages 
are received (on/o).

Conguring the Master Equalizer 
(Master EQ)
A four-band compressor is provided for each kit.
You can adjust the equalizer’s eect (shelving and peaking) for the low 
frequencies (LOW) and high frequencies (HIGH).
The sound to which master EQ is applied is output from the OUTPUT 
jack and PHONES jack.
 5 You can use four bands (LOW/MID1/MID2/HIGH) of boost/cut to adjust the sound.
 5 This is also useful for compensating for sound quality issues when using the 
master compressor.
1. On the OTHERS screen, select “Master EQ” and press 
“SELECT” (F2 button).
The MASTER EQ screen appears.
