Parameter Description
KEYBD (F1)
Activates/deactivates Keyboard mode. In this mode your pads play notes of the fo-
cused Sound at 16 different pitches. This is well suited for melodic instruments.
See the next paragraph for a detailed description of the Keyboard mode. Please
note that Keyboard mode is not compatible with 16 Velocities mode (see below).
16 VEL (F2)
Activates/deactivates 16 Velocities mode. In this mode your pads play the same
note of the focused Sound but with 16 different velocity values. This can be use-
ful to play or program complex drum fills. The pitch of the played note is defined
by the base key (see section 5.1.3, Adjusting the Base Key). Please note that
16 Velocities mode is not compatible with Keyboard mode (see above) nor the
Fixed Velocity option (see below).
FIX VEL (F3)
Activates/deactivates the Fixed Velocity option. This option is available when your
pads are in Group mode (default mode) or Keyboard mode. With this option ena-
bled, your pads play at the same volume no matter how hard you hit the pads.
Obviously, this option is not compatible with the 16 Velocities mode described
above: hence, their buttons are mutually exclusive.
At the bottom of the display, use the Left/Right Arrow buttons and the Control encoder to se-
lect and adjust following parameters, respectively:
