Play the Pads/Pedals
Strike the pad with the supplied drum sticks or your hands to play the drum voices.
When playing the pads with your hands, turn the Hand Percussion feature on by press-
ing the [HAND PERC] button (the lamp lights).
The volume of the pads’ sounds responds to your playing; when you play soft the vol-
ume is soft, and when you play strongly the volume is loud.
The actual loudness of the sound may vary according to which part of the pad is
struck.
Pad Names
The bass drum voice is controlled by
pressing Foot Pedal 1.
Pedal 1 features touch response; the
volume responds to how hard you
press the pedal.
Use Foot Pedal 2 to control the Hi-hat.
(This is in the case of Drum Kit 00.)
A hi-hat sound is assigned to Small Pad 3 (Drum Kit
00). Striking Small Pad 3 while pressing Pedal 2 pro-
duces a closed hi-hat sound.
Striking the pad without pressing the pedal produces
an open hi-hat sound.
