Edit Section Setting a Pad Song You can play up to four pad songs from one drum kit. If you have already specified four pad songs for other trigger inputs, the following parameters 3~5 cannot be set and "---" is shown in the display. 3 Song Select a song for the pad song. You cannot choose a song from the memory card. ❏ Settings: Preset or User song 4 Repeat Enable or disable repeated playback of the pad song. ❏ Settings: on (enabled), off (disabled) 5 Mode Specify how you want the pad song to play back. ❏ Settings: • play: Song playback will start or stop each time you hit the pad. Song will always play from the beginning. • chase: Each time you hit the pad, the song will play one measure and automatically stop. If you hit the pad during playback, the song will resume playback from the next measure. • cutoff: Song playback will start or stop each time you hit the pad. If you start a different pad song during playback, the current song will stop. n When you play multiple songs (main song and pad songs) with one drum kit, keep in mind the MIDI channel assignments for those songs. You may get unexpected and confusing results if different data in two or more songs share the same MIDI channel. [TrgMIDI1] Key On Mode In this page you can specify how MIDI Note On events will be triggered when a pad is hit. Triggering by hitting a pad can be associated with pressing a key on the keyboard, and a triggered note will sound according to a specific rule. This rule is called the Key On mode. [TrgMIDI1] Mode TrgAltG RimVel Input=16 stkmono 16 -------- 1 2 3 4 1 Input= Select a target trigger input (1 to 16). For trigger inputs 1 to 8, you can select from two rims (1R1, 1R2, ..., 8R1, 8R2). n Rim settings are effective with a dual trigger pad. In the Pad-toInput Matching Chart (page 16), for combinations indicated by "A (Best)" or "B (Good)," you can use up to two rims. You cannot use the pad rim for "C (Fair)" combinations. 2 Mode Specify the Key On mode for note numbers (page 42) assigned to the target input 1. Each of the trigger inputs 1 to 16 (except for rims) can be assigned to play up to six notes simultaneously (stack mode), or up to nine different notes played in turns (alternate mode). Each of these has two different modes, mono and multi. In mono mode, previously triggered notes will be muted by newly triggered ones. ❏ Settings for other than rims (R1 and R2): • stack: Stack & multi mode. • alter: Alternate & multi mode. • stkmono: Stack & mono mode. • altmono: Alternate & mono mode. • hold: A variation of stack & mono mode, letting notes triggered by hitting the pad continue sounding until you hit it a second time. n If you only trigger a drum voice by hitting a pad, and do not play either a chord (stacked notes) or a phrase (alternate notes), select a multi mode (stack or alter) here. If you select a mono mode, it will cut off notes triggered continuously, producing unnatural sounds. There are three Key On modes for rims: Single mode, which is suitable for closed rimshots (cross sticking); hold mode, which is for sounding a rim voice as long as you want; and withpad mode, which is suitable for open rimshots. ❏ Settings for rims (R1 and R2 only): • single: Plays a drum voice assigned to the rim of the target input 1. • hold: A variation of single mode, letting a rim voice triggered by hitting the rim continue sounding until you hit it again. • withpad: Simultaneously plays a drum voice (and other stacked or alternate notes) and a rim voice for the target input 1 each time you hit the rim. 40
