Chapter 2: The Basics
Playing the Drum Pads, the PAD BANK & FULL LEVEL Keys
Each recorded sample is called a sound. To hear some of the drum sounds you have loaded, play
the 16 drum pads on the front panel. To hear other sounds, press the A, B, C or D PAD BANK
keys, then play the pads again.
The 64 bank/pad combinations are as follows:
Drum pads in bank A: A01 through A16
Drum pads in bank B: B01 through B16
Drum pads in bank C: C01 through C16
Drum pads in bank D: D01 through D16
The 16 drum pads are dynamic—the harder you play them, the louder the sound will play. Press
the FULL LEVEL key (the idicator lights), and no matter how hard you play the pads, the sound will
play at its maximum dynamic level. Press the FULL LEVEL key again to return to normal dynamic
operation.

When loading is finished, press MAIN SCREEN and try the sounds by hitting the drum
