1–9: Set Up Pads
There are eight velocity-sensitive trigger pads below 
the LCD screen. These look like drum machine pads, 
and playing drum sounds is certainly one use for 
them.
However, they can also play up to eight-note chords on 
any sound–not just drums. The pads even remember 
the velocities of the individual notes within the chord, 
as well as the notes themselves. Finally, each Pad can 
be assigned to a different MIDI channel, if desired. 
These settings are stored independently for each 
Combination.
You can assign notes to the pads directly from the 
keyboard and front-panel controls, without using this 
page at all. Alternatively, you can enter notes and 
velocities using the parameters on this page. 
Regardless of how the notes were first assigned, you 
can edit their values here.
For more information, including step-by-step 
instructions and usage tips, see “Drum & Chord Pads” 
on page 48 of the Operation Guide.
1–9a: Pad Chords
Pad 1
MIDI Channel [Ch01…Ch16, Gch]
This sets the pad’s MIDI output channel. You can set 
this to either a specific channel (1-16), or the Global 
MIDI Channel.
Ch01…Ch16: The pad will transmit on the selected 
MIDI channel. As shown in the diagram “Pads and 
MIDI Channel,” below, you can:
• Use this in conjunction with the Timbre MIDI 
Channel setting, to route a pad to a specific Timbre. 
For more information, see “MIDI Channel” on 
page 360.
• Use this with the KARMA Module Input Channel 
setting, to generate a phrase or other KARMA 
function when you play a specific pad. For more 
information, see “Input Channel” on page 376.
