1.2.10. Velocity/Pressure Pads
The mode also determines the function of the 16 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads:
• In Control Mode they are assignable to almost any MIDI-related function.
• In Sequencer mode most of the pads trigger notes, and pads 15 and 16 are used
to shift the octave range. When used with the SEQUENCER 1 or SEQUENCER 2
button, the pads are used to transpose the sequence chromatically.
• If Drum mode is selected the pads trigger notes.
◦ Used with the DRUM button, the pads let you select the corresponding
drum without hearing it play.
◦ Individual drums may be muted during recording and playback
(DRUM + MUTE + the desired pad).
• Used with the SHIFT button the pads set the playback mode, timing value, and
the input scale (SEQ1 and SEQ2 only).
See the Control Mode [p.79] , Step Sequencer [p.24] , and Drum Sequencer [p.38] chapters for
specific information and procedures.
