Pad Play Mode Operation
The types and values of parameters that can be set for pads 1 - 8 and the [SOURCE] pad are as follows.
[SOURCE] pad (SOURCE MIX)
When this parameter is set to "on", the signal supplied at the input jacks is always sent to the output jacks. When
the parameter is "oFF", the signal is sent only while the [SOURCE] pad is being pressed. The [-] [+] keys or the
[EDIT 1] wheel can be used to change the setting. For information on use of the [SOURCE] pad, see page 26.
Setting values: on, oFF (Default settings: oFF)
Pad 1 (LEVEL)
Sets the output level for each sample. The [-] [+] keys or the [EDIT 1] wheel can be used to select a setting
between 1 and 100. This parameter is also valid for the [SOURCE] pad. Pressing the [LOOP/MARK] pad resets
the unit to the default (50).
Setting values: 1 - 100 (Default settings: 50)
Pad 2 (TUNING)
Allows pitch tuning for each sample in units of 1 cent, over a range of +-3 octaves.
The [-] [+] keys serve to change the setting in cent units, and the [EDIT 1] wheel in semitone units. The tuning
setting can also be made in BPM units. In this case, the [BPM] key must be held down while the [-] [+] keys or
the [EDIT 1] wheel are used (the indication "BPM" appears on the display).
Pressing the [LOOP/MARK] pad resets the unit to the original tuning. Pressing the [BPM] key again
switches back to normal display.
Setting values: -36.00 - 36.00 (Default settings: 0) / 40 - 250 (BPM)
Pad 3 (START POINT)
Pad 4 (OFFSET)
Pad 5 (END POINT)
Serve to set the start point, offset, and end point respectively. The [LOOP/MARK] pad
serves to specify the point and the [-] [+] keys allow fine-tuning. (For details, see page
29.)
Setting values: 000000 - 960000 (sample units) or 0.000 - 120.000 (S units)
(Default settings Start point: 0 Offset: 0 End point: last address)
The start point, offset, and end point can be displayed in sample units or in
millisecond units. To switch the display method, press the [SPECIAL] key. The end
point can also be set in BPM units.
Pad 6 (PANNING)
Sets the panning position (left/right channel distribution) of the sample. When the setting is "L50", the
sample plays only in the left channel. A setting of "0" is center, and a setting of "r50" right channel only. Use
the [-] [+] keys or the [EDIT 1] wheel to make the setting. This parameter is also valid for the [SOURCE] pad.
Pressing the [LOOP/MARK] pad resets the unit to the default (0).
Setting values: L50 - 0 - r50 (Default settings: 0)
