Trigger Pads
The keyboard features four assignable velocity-sensitive trigger pads with aftertouch. The
factory setting for the trigger pads is to function as drum pads. When you strike the pad, a cor-
responding icon will appear and its note MIDI message will be transmitted on channel 10. The
pad number and the velocity curve number will be shown in the Operation and Data area of
the display and the port, channel, pad type, pad mode and note number information will be
shown under relevant tags. When you press a pad, and continue to press it, the pad will send a
channel aftertouch message depending on how hard you press the pad.
The pads are congured to two pad banks with dierent settings for each pad, for a total
of eight individual pads. Press the PAD BANK button to switch between the two banks. The
active bank will be shown on the display. The factory default settings for pads are listed in the
Factory Default Setting table on p. 32. You can select the pad velocity curve, change param-
eters, or assign other controls to pads in the Setup Mode.
