Checking the sounds in a Kit Patch
There are three ways you can listen to the sounds in a patch without using the main sequencer:
D By clicking the Pad buttons on the front panel.
! Note that the vertical click position on the pad determines the Velocity value. If you click towards the bottom of
a pad, the velocity is low and at the top of each pad the velocity value is high.
This will give you a good idea about the dynamics behavior of each drum sound. This also allows you to record in
the main sequencer using the full dynamic range of each drum sound, even without a connected MIDI keyboard/
control surface.
D By playing the keys C1 to D#2 or C3 to B6 on your MIDI keyboard or on the On-screen Piano Keyboard.
In the C1-D#2 range, each MIDI note will trig one pad each, from Pad 1 to Pad 16. In the C3-B6 MIDI note range
each pad can be triggered from three adjacent keys on your MIDI keyboard. C3-D3 trigs Pad 1, D#3-F3 trigs Pad
2 and so on. The C3-B6 note range is perfect if you want to play fast passages by triggering the same pad from
several keys on your MIDI keyboard.
Creating a new Kit Patch
To create a patch of your own (or modify an existing patch), use the following basic steps:
1. Click on the pad for the drum sound you want to load or replace.
A blue frame surrounds the selected pad.
