Recording your performance on the

sampling pads

The AW4416 provides a simple sequencer dedicated to the sampling pads which
operates in conjunction with the recorder. This simple sequencer records the tim-
ing of the trigger events that occur when you strike a pad, and can be used to
layer kick or snare sounds on the audio tracks, or to add sound effects. Events in a
specified area can also be copied repeatedly as a pattern, or erased.

Here’s how to record your pad performance on the simple sequencer.

1. In the SAMPLING PAD section, press the [EDIT] pad → [F5] key.

The Trig. List page will appear, allowing you to record your pad performance.

This screen shows the following information.

PAD

The bank and number of the pads that will be recorded/played.

B

NAME (pad name)

This is the name assigned to each pad. Pads to which no sample has been
assigned will be displayed as “-NO ASN-”.

C

R button

This is the recording switch for each pad. When you move the cursor and press
the [ENTER] key to change the button display from O to ●, that pad can now be
recorded.

D

M button

This is the mute switch for each pad. When you move the cursor and press the
[ENTER] key to change the button display from O to ●, that pad will be muted.

It is not possible to play bank A and B pads simultaneously. The M buttons will
automatically switch to
for the bank that is not currently selected by the
[BANK] switch, and will be muted.
