Page 4 / ASSIGN MIDI NOTE NUMBERS TO DRUM PADS (NOTE) This page allows you to specify which MIDI Note Number is associated with a given pad. This number describes both the MIDI Note which will trigger the pad when controlling the PerformancePad Pro externally, as well as the MIDI Note which will be sent out to other MIDI devices when the associated pad is struck. The display shows the note number/name in the upper left, and the drum pad number in the upper right window. 1. First, select which instrument layer you wish to edit by pressing DRUMS, PERC or BASS. 2. Press the drum pad to be assigned to a MIDI Note, as confirmed by the Drum Pad Number display. 3. Enter the note number/name with the number buttons, INC/DEC buttons or the VALUE dial. Note: MIDI Note assignments are "global" and affect every Pattern. MIDI note assignments are not individually selectable for each Pattern. Note: The Bass part cannot have MIDI Note numbers assigned. These are preset to start at MIDI Note number C2 (048). Page 5 / SEND CLOCK VALUE TO OTHER DEVICES (CLOCKOUT) The PerformancePad Pro can generate MIDI Clock timing signals to which other devices can synchronize if: The external device (sequencer, drum machine, etc.) can respond to MIDI timing signals. These signals go from the PerformancePad Pro's MIDI OUT to the external device's MIDI IN. CLOCKOUT is ON. To have the PerformancePad Pro generate timing data at its MIDI out, use the INC/DEC buttons or the VALUE dial to select ON. Select OFF to inhibit MIDI timing signals from appearing at the MIDI out jack. 39
