1 Pad number
B Layer number
Use this parameter to select the layer you want to set.
C Note
Use this parameter to select a MIDI note to be sent by the
layer indicated by
2 . You can also choose either of the fol-
lowing two special settings.
• off..............Regardless of the setting made on the Playing
Mode page (MIDI1-1), no MIDI note will be
sent when the pad is struck.
• skip............If “alternate” has been selected on the Playing
Mode page (MIDI1-1), this layer will be
skipped. In other words, no MIDI note will be
sent when it is this layer’s turn to play. Alterna-
tively, if “stack” or “hold” has been set on the
Playing Mode page (MIDI1-1), this setting has
the same effect as “off” above (i.e., no MIDI
note will be sent for this layer).
• Notes outside the range covered by General MIDI are displayed in
parentheses – for example, “(C#-2/1)”.
• 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”. If
you change the note setting for a pad indicated in this way, the note
setting for the other pad will also be changed in the same way .
1 Pad number
B Layer number
C MIDI channel (MIDI Ch)
Use this parameter to set the MIDI channel for MIDI notes
sent for the layer indicated by
2 .
• If no note number has been assigned to any of the pad’s layers (A to
D) on the MIDI Note page (MIDI1-2), this setting will be displayed as “-
--” and modification will not be possible.
Typical Uses of Stack, Alternate, and
Hold Modes
Using the Playing Mode page (MIDI1-1), you can select the
way in which a pad’s four layers will be played. For example,
pads can be setup to produce a chord by playing multiple lay-
ers at the same time or to play a different layer on each succes-
sive strike. The following are typical examples of how these
modes can be used.
● Playing just one sound when a pad is struck
Select “stack” on the Playing Mode page (MIDI1-1), and
assign a MIDI note to Layer A only on the MIDI Note
page (MIDI1-2).
● Playing two sounds simultaneously when a pad is struck
Select “stack” on the Playing Mode page (MIDI1-1), and
assign a different MIDI note to both Layer A and Layer B
on the MIDI Note page (MIDI1-2).
● Playing two sounds alternately each time a pad is struck
Select “alternate” on the Playing Mode page (MIDI1-1),
and assign a different MIDI note to Layers A and B on the
MIDI Note page (MIDI1-2).
● Playing Layer A, then silencing it, playing Layer C, then
silencing it, playing Layer A… and so on each time a
pad is struck
Select “alternate” on the Playing Mode page (MIDI1-1),
and assign a MIDI note or “skip” to Layers A through D
on the MIDI Note page (MIDI1-2) as follows.
● Playing three held sounds simultaneously when a pad
is struck, and silencing them the next time it is struck
Select “hold” on the Playing Mode page (MIDI1-1), and
assign MIDI notes to Layers A through C on the MIDI
Note page (MIDI1-2) as follows. In addition, select “on”
for Layers A through C on the Receive Key-Off page
(MIDI1-5).
• If a note on MIDI channel 10 is assigned, be sure to select “on” for
Layers A through C on the Receive Key-Off page (MIDI1-5).
