Pad Settings
In the Pad Settings section to the right of the Pad section you can perform various assignments and tricks pertaining
to how the Drum channels should be controlled from the Pads.
Assigning Drums to Pads
Kong features 16 pads and 16 Drum channels, as described earlier. Each pad can control a separate Drum sound
channel. You can also assign several pads to control a single Drum sound channel. This is especially useful if you
want to apply different settings, like Hit Types (see “Assigning Hit Type to Pads”), for each pad so that the controlled
Drum sound channel responds differently. By default the 16 pads are assigned to their corresponding Drum sound
channel; Pad 1 to Drum 1 and so on. If you want to change this assignment, proceed as follows:
1. Select the desired Drum sound channel by clicking on its corresponding pad - or on the Pad name below the
pad if you don’t want the pad to trigger the sound.
A blue frame surrounds the selected pad and the corresponding Drum is displayed in the Drum section to the left.
2. Select the other pad you want to control Drum 1 from.
In this example, we select Pad 2.
3. Click on button 1 in the Drum Assignment section to assign Pad 2 to Drum 1.
Now, Pad 2 is also assigned to play Drum 1. Below Pad 2 it now says “Drum 1” to indicate the current assignment.
