These three parameters apply when
XY-Pad has been selected for the
Type parameter. Use them to set the
musical key (such as C, C#, or D),
the type of scale, and the number of
keys covered by the screen.
Settings Screen
The model name or port name of the
connected instrument is shown here.
Use the Channel screen to set the 16
MIDI channels to Melody or Backing.
When Touch Response is turned
on and Real has been selected for
the Type parameter, the keyboard
displayed on-screen will be touch
sensitive. In other words, the sound
and visual effects will also respond to
the strength of your playing.
Real:
With this setting, a piano-type keyboard
is shown on the Main, Mix, and Chain
screens. You can tap this keyboard to
play sounds in the same way as on a
traditional instrument.
XY-Pad:
With this setting, you can tap the right
side of the screen to produce a higher
pitched sound or the left side to produce
a lower pitched one. In addition, the top
of the screen will produce louder sounds;
the bottom, quieter ones. By swiping the
screen, therefore, you can continuously
change both sound and visual effect.
