If “Alternate Reset” is assigned to a slot (other than slot #1), then the alternating pattern will then start
again from the beginning. This feature allows the pad to be set to any alternating pattern from 2 notes
to 16 notes.
If “Alternate Reset” is assigned to a slot #1, then the Alternate Resets affect ALL Alternating pad in the
entire User Kit.
The “Alternate Freeze” function stops the alternating pattern from advancing to the next note slot. If
the Alternate Freeze is placed in the first position (slot #1) in the Alternating, then ALL alternate notes
in the entire kit will be frozen.
If the Alternate Freeze function is placed in any of the other remaining 15 MIDI note number slots,
then that pad will stop advancing until the pad is reset. (Alternate Reset)
If “no” is assigned to a slot, then a silent note will take the place of a MIDI note number
CONTINUOUS DATA
Control + 3 Notes mode
Any pad can be assigned to send out continuous control data on a pad. The MIDI note number
assignment becomes the CC# number and the velocity of the hit becomes the CC value. Minimum and
Maximum CC ranges are assigned by the velocity minimum and maximum settings of that pad.
The same pad assigned to “Ctrl + 3” can also simultaneously send out up to 3 MIDI notes per pad.
These are assigned in slots 2, 3 and 4. Any MIDI note assignments in the other slots (5-16) will have no
effect.
When the pad is played, the velocity information (how hard you hit) is converted to the Controller
value. The softest hit will send out a CC value of 0, while the hardest hit will send out a CC value of
127. The outer boundaries are controlled by the minimum and maximum velocity settings that you set
for the pad.
The Gate Time for the pad serves as a SLEW. This means how long it takes to go from value to value.
It is like a portamento for controller values.
To use this function, set the Curve on the desired pad to “Ctrl + 3 Notes”. The MIDI note assignment
for slot #1 then becomes the Continuous Controller Number. How hard you hit the pad then becomes
the Control Data number (00-127) in real time. How fast the value goes from number to number is
determined by the Gate Time.
Finally Slots 2, 3 and 4 can be assigned to MIDI notes. These notes will be played simultaneously , that
is layered along with the control data information.
