Playing Mode (Mode)
Use this parameter to set Stack, Alternate, or Hold as the playing
mode for the current pad.
Settings: stack, alternate, hold
NOTE
• If no note numbers have been assigned to any of the pad’s lay-
ers (A to D) using the Note parameter (also from the Menu
area’s Kit/MIDI/Assign page), this setting will be displayed as
“---” and modification will not be possible.
Note
Use this parameter to select a MIDI note to be sent by the current
layer. You can also choose either of the following two special set-
tings.
Settings: off, C #-2/1 to F#8/126, skip
NOTE
• Voices cannot be assigned to any note numbers on MIDI chan-
nel 10 that are displayed in parentheses – for example, “(C
#-2/
1)”. If one of these numbers is selected, therefore, the settings
for the VoiceCategory and VoiceNumber parameters from the
Menu area’s Kit/Voice page will be displayed as “---”.
• Notes on MIDI channel 10 having already been assigned to a
layer will be displayed with an asterisk in front of them – for
example, “*C3”.
MIDI Channel (MIDI Ch)
Use this parameter to set the MIDI channel for the current layer’s
MIDI messages.
Settings: 1 to 16
NOTE
• If no note numbers have been assigned to any of the pad’s lay-
ers
(see page 4) , this setting will be displayed as “---” and
modification will not be possible.
KIT/MIDI/ASSIGN 2/5
stack
When Stack mode is selected, all notes assigned to
the pad are triggered simultaneously. For example,
you can use this mode to produce chords or to trig-
ger multiple voices and waves with a single strike.
To produce just a single sound, select this mode and
assign only one voice to the pad.
alternate
When Alternate mode is selected, the notes
assigned to the pad are played individually in turn
each time it is struck. For example, you can use this
mode to produce a different sound each time you
strike the pad.
alternate
When Hold mode is selected, the notes assigned to
the pad are alternately turned on and off each time it
is struck. If, for example, a sustained sound has
been assigned, the first strike of the pad will turn it
on, the next strike will turn it off, and so on.
off
Regardless of the current setting of the Mode
parameter, no MIDI note is sent when the pad is
struck.
skip
If “alternate” has been selected for the Mode param-
eter, this layer will be skipped. In other words, no
MIDI note will be sent when it is this layer’s turn to
play. Alternatively, if “stack” or “hold” has been
selected for the Mode parameter, this setting has the
same effect as “off” above (i.e., no MIDI note will be
sent for this layer).
