The ASSIGN Key
To assign a pad and parameter to the NOTE VARIATION slider, hold down SHIFT and press
AFTER (ASSIGN). The following screen will appear:
To assign the slider to a drum pad and parameter:
1. Press the drum pad you want to assign to (the note number, pad number and sound name of
the pad you pressed will appear in the Assign note: field). You can also select the
sound by selecting the Assign note: field with the cursor and using the DATA wheel.
2. Move the cursor to the Parameter: field and select the desired parameter (TUNING,
DECAY, ATTACK or FILTER) using the DATA wheel, then assign the related settings.
3. Press MAIN SCREEN to return to the Main Screen.
4. Play the selected pad while moving the NOTE VARIATION slider. Each time the pad is played,
the selected parameter (tuning, attack, decay or filter) will change according to the slider posi-
tion.
Additional information about the four fields:
• Assign note:
This field contains the note number to which the slider is assigned (35-98). To change the
assignment, press a drum pad. The pad number of the pad you pressed in the
Assign
note: field and the name of the sound currently assigned to the note number will appear.
Alternately, you can change it by moving the cursor directly to the field and rotating the DATA
wheel. To turn this function off, turn the DATA wheel to the left until OFF appears.
• Parameter:
This field determines which of the four possible parameters the slider will control. The four
choices are:
TUNING This slider changes the tuning of the sound. The tuning you get is based on the
tuning that is set in the
Tune: parameter of the program.
DECAY This enables you to change the decay time with the slider. This changes re-
gardless of the value set in the
Decay: parameter of the program.
ATTACK This enables you to change the attack time with the slider. This changes re-
gardless of the value set in the
Attack: parameter of the program.
FILTER This enables you to change the cut off frequency of the sound with the slider.
This changes the
Freq: value of the parameter in the program.
