Percussion Pads
Using the Percussion Pads
Each of the five built-in percussion pads is
assigned the sound of a percussion instrument
(ACOUSTIC SNARE 1, OPEN HI-HAT,
CLOSED HI-HAT, BASS DRUM 1, HIGH TOM).
Tapping a pad with your finger plays the sound
assigned to it.
Assigning Sounds to Percussion
Pads
You can assign the percussion sound you want
to each of the percussion pads.
NOTE
Turning off power causes the sounds assigned
to the percussion pads to return to their initial
defaults.
1.
While holding down the TONE
button, use the number buttons to
input 49, which selects the
Percussion tone.
2.
Look at the 16 white keys (C3
through D5) in the center of the
keyboard that are marked with
images of percussion instruments,
and find the sound you want to
assign to a pad.
3.
While pressing down on the
percussion pad to which you want
to assign the sound, press the white
key you selected in step 2.
4.
Tap the percussion pad with your
finger to hear the sound assigned to
it.
Transpose
The initial power default setting is middle C
(00). You can transpose the key of the keyboard
in semitone steps in the range of 6 to +6 (12
semitone steps).
1.
Press the TRANSPOSE [̆] button to
raise the key one semitone, or the
TRANSPOSE [̄] button to lower it
one semitone.
To return the tuning to its initial power
on default setting (00), press the
TRANSPOSE [̆] and [̄] buttons at the
same time.
Transpose is also returned to its initial
power on default setting (00) whenever
you turn on power.
