MIDI1≥-º¡MessageType=note Parameter-Setting Pages for "note" Messages MIDI1-1 Playing Mode page MIDI1-1≥-º¡- 1 ≥Mode=alternate 2 1 Pad number Settings 01 to 12, 13, 13R1, 13R2, 14 to 17, FTSW, HHCL, or HHSP B Playing mode Use this parameter to set Stack, Alternate, or Hold as the playing mode for the pad indicated by 1. Some typical applications of these modes are explained on the following page. • stack ......... When Stack mode is selected, all notes assigned to the pad are triggered simultaneously. For example, you can use this mode to produce chords or to trigger multiple preset voices or waves with a single strike. To produce just one sound, select this mode and assign only one voice to the pad. • alternate.... When Alternate mode is selected, the notes assigned to the pad are played individually in turn each time it is struck. For example, you can use this mode to produce a different sound each time you strike the pad. • hold .......... When Hold mode is selected, the notes assigned to the pad are alternately turned on and off each time it is struck. If, for example, a sustained sound has been assigned, the first strike of the pad will turn it on, the next strike will turn it off, and so on. Settings stack, alternate, or hold NOTE • If no note numbers have been assigned to any of the pad's layers (A to D) on the MIDI Note page (MIDI1-2), this setting will be displayed as "--" and modification will not be possible. • Parameter-setting pages for "CC" messages are explained on page 65.
