When setting multiple pads to the same note
number
When the note number is set to be more than one pad,
the instrument assigned to the pad with the lowest
trigger input number is played. When note numbers for
the head and rim are duplicated, the head instrument is
played.
MEMO
An asterisk (*) appears at the right of the note
number for trigger inputs that are not sounded.
Example:
Note number “38 (D 2)” is set for the head and rim of
trigger input 2 SNARE and the head of trigger input
3 TOM 1. In this case, when note number 38 (D2) is
received, the instrument assigned to the head of trigger
input 2 SNARE is played.
About the gate time
Percussion sound modules normally produce
sound only in response to “Note on” messages, and
ignore “Note o” messages. However general-
purpose sound modules or samplers do receive
the note-o messages that are transmitted and
respond by turning o the sound.
For example, if you are triggering a “loop” in a
sampler, or other sounds then the gate time
parameter is very important. With the factory
defaults (preset values), the transmitted gate time
is set to the minimum value.
Setting an instrument to the
Default Values (DEFAULT)
Here’s how to set an instrument’s settings (p. 56) to their
default values.
NOTE
If you edit the settings, the original instrument
settings will be lost.
If you want to keep those settings, back them up to a
USB ash drive before you continue (
p. 108
).
1. Press the [INST] button.
2. Select the pad that you want to set to its default
settings.
Strike the desired pad, or use the TRIG SELECT buttons
to select it.
The edit screen for the selected pad will appear.
3. Press the [F4] (DEFAULT) button.
A conrmation message will appear.
If you decide to cancel the operation, press the [F1]
(CANCEL) button.
4. Press the [F5] (EXECUTE) button.
The instrument will be set to its default settings.
MEMO
In the INST EDIT screen, you can also set an
instrument to its default values by holding down the
[SHIFT] button and pressing the [F4] button.
