The numbers 0 – 7 specify the group to which the pad belongs
(0 = no group, 1 – 7: respective group). Pads in the same group
cannot produce sound at the same time.
For example, if you assign an open hi-hat sound and closed hi-
hat sound to two pads in the same group, the open hi-hat sound
will cease when you play the closed hi-hat sound, resulting in
realistic action.
Reverb Send
Sets the reverb send level for each pad. The setting range is
0 – 127. This parameter setting is independent of the track
parameter for reverb send level.
Remain
Shows the remaining drum kit memory as a capacity or in
terms of playing time. Use the cursor up/down keys to
toggle between kB (kilobytes) and mS (milliseconds).
Priority
Specifies the priority order for the pads that applies when
several pads are pressed at the same time (or when triggered
by a rhythm pattern or rhythm song). Higher numbers
indicate higher priority.
Higher numbers are recommended for pads with long-
reverberation sounds such as cymbals or pads that use loop
material.
5. Use the cursor up/down keys to select the
pad banks, and press the pad for which to
make settings.
The setting for the pad appears on the display. For example, if
Level is selected as parameter and you press pad 3, the display
indication changes as follows.
6. Turn the dial to select a setting value.
While the menu for setting pad parameters is shown, you can
also use the faders to adjust the Level parameter for the pads.
The assignment of faders to pads is as shown below.
NOTE
With the HD8, adjusting the Level parameter for pads 8 and 9
with a fader is not possible.
7. Repeat steps 4 – 6 as necessary to edit other
pads.
8. When the setting is complete, press the
[EXIT] key several times to return to the main
screen.
You can copy the kit files in the current project.
1. From the main screen, hold down the [SHIFT]
key and press pad 7 (PATTERN) or pad 8
