PLAYING THE PADS AND SELECTING KITS.
You can generally play the drum pads in real-time regardless of the mode
you’re in. From within some of the Drum Kit Mode functions, pressing the pad
buttons will also display information about the various settings for each pad.
■ SELECTING THE PAD BANKS - Each of the twelve drum pads has two drum
voices assigned to it. These are organized in “Drum” and “Percussion” Pad
Banks. To switch back and forth between the two Pad Banks, press [PAD
BANK]. Either the word “DRUM” (Drum Pad Bank) or the abbreviation
“PERC” (Percussion Pad Bank) will appear in the upper right area of the
LCD as you switch back and forth between each bank.
■ ADDING ACCENTS AS YOU PLAY - Each drum voice in a kit has a
designated “accent level” assigned to it which permits you to apply playing
dynamics to the drum beats as you play in real-time, as well as record
accents in User patterns. To add accents while playing the various drum
pads, hold [ACCENT] to apply the accent level to the desired drum hits. The
accent level for each drum voice in the Preset drum kits cannot be
modified; however, you can specify the accent level (for softer or louder
dynamics) for each drum voice in a User drum kit.
