NORMAL
Only the sound in the Snd: field plays when the selected MIDI note number is received.
SIMULT
This plays up to three sounds together each time the note number specified in the Note: field is
received. When this option is selected, two Also play note: fields appear to the right of
the Mode: field. Select the notes that you want to play simultaneously with the DATA wheel. If
you only want to add one sound, select either field and rotate the DATA wheel to the left until --

The sound assigned to the program and the two sounds set here can be switched with strong or
weak velocity. When this option is selected, two
If over: fields appear to the right of the
Mode: field. When the velocity of the drum pads or the MIDI note on exceed these settings, the
generated sound will switch. To switch between only two sounds, select either field and rotate the
DATA wheel to the left until
--/OFF is displayed. The following example generates the sound
of MIDI note number 60 up to velocity 44 and 36/A02 between velocity 45 and 88, and 53/A16 over
velocity 89.
