Settings for Each Pad
Heres how to specify the Instrument (and its Note Number) that will be played by incoming MIDI mes-
sages.
1
In the Play mode, use PATCH/VALUE [-] or [+] to select the Patch
(199) for which you wish to make settings.
2
Press [EDIT] to enter the Edit mode.
3
Strike the pad you wish to set.
4
Select an Instrument using INST in the SOUND parameter group (p.
22).
5
Select the note number (0127) by using NOTE # in the MIDI para-
meter group (p. 62).
Now when the specified Note Number is received from the external device, you will be
able to check the sound.
6
If you wish to make settings for other pads, repeat steps 35.
7
Press [EDIT] to return to the Play mode.
If you have specified the same Note Number for two or more pads, each pad will transmit the same
Note Number. However, if a note message of that number is received, only the Instrument assigned to
the highest-priority pad will sound (p. 67). If you attempt to make such a conflicting setting, the dis-
play will flash more rapidly to inform you that the setting is invalid.
If the Patch Expand function (p. 69) is on and more than two same note numbers are included in these
five Patches, the display will also flash more rapidly.
Remember that three note numbers are assigned to each Hi-Hat Cymbal for pedal control sound
(H01–H17). If even one of these three note numbers coincides with a Note Number assigned to another
pad, only the highest-priority pad will sound. For example, if Note Number 38 has been assigned to
the S01 sound for pad number 1, and Note Number 42 has been assigned to the H01 sound for Pad
number 2, the H01 sound will not be heard. If you attempt to make such a conflicting setting, the dis-
play will flash more rapidly to inform you that the setting is invalid.
By switching the Layer on/off, the way of note message processing will be changed;
Layer Off: Each of the Note Numbers set to pad banks A and B are transmitted when received.
Layer On: When received, the Note Number in pad bank B is ignored, while the Note Number in
pad bank A is played.
