1.2F Physical Layout

The Performance Pad includes seven main types of controls, along with a group of

connectors (located on the back panel). The control groups (see diagram) are:

• Pads. Striking each pad triggers a voice.

• Function buttons. These six buttons select various functions, some of which include

multiple "pages" of options.

• Tempo/Page buttons. These alter the tempo and also select different "pages" present

in the Drum Set, Record Setup, MIDI Setup, and Util functions.

• Pattern select buttons. These choose between the A, B, and Fill variations for a

Pattern.

• Mode buttons. These choose between Pattern and Song modes, Perform (playback)

and Compose (record) modes, and the Preset and User patterns.

• "Tape recorder" buttons. These control playback and stop, and work similarly to a

tape recorder.

• Display and data entry buttons. The display informs you of the instrument's status,

and also prompts you for data from time to time. A detailed description of the display

follows shortly. The data entry buttons include number entry buttons (0-9) and up

arrow (increment, or INC) and down arrow (decrement, or DEC). The latter increase or

decrease parameter values on step at a time.

• Volume knob (on back of Performance Pad). This knob regulates the volume of the

entire unit.
