Alesis PerformancePad Pro User Manual - Page 40

Page 6 / TEMPO SELECTION (TEMPO) This function describes how the PerformancePad Pro will use tempo data when playing back Patterns. If you choose GLOBAL, the PerformancePad Pro will use a global tempo setting and will ignore any tempo data associated with a Pattern. If you choose PERPAT, the PerformancePad Pro will use the tempo data stored with each Pattern. For example, if Pattern 01's tempo is set to 90 and Pattern 02's tempo is set to 120, the PerformancePad Pro will increase the tempo when switching from Pattern 01 to Pattern 02. PAGE 7 / MANUAL DRUMSET OVERRIDE (SET MODE) Each Pattern has an associated, assigned Drum Set. However, you can tell the PerformancePad Pro to ignore these stored assignments, and retain the currently selected Drum Set regardless of whether or not you change Patterns. This is useful if you want to hear how a Pattern would sound with a different Drum Set (just set one up manually) as opposed to the one stored with the Pattern. Use the INC/DEC buttons or the VALUE dial to select PATT (each Pattern uses its assigned Drum Set) or MANUAL (the PerformancePad Pro will retain the currently selected drum assignments regardless of which Pattern is chosen). Note: If changing Patterns doesn't call up different Drum Sets, this parameter is probably set to MANUAL instead of PATT. Page 8 / LEDs (LEDS OFF) On this page you can specify whether the LEDs on the PerformancePad Pro will be lit or turned off. Use the INC / DEC buttons or the VALUE dial and select OFF to turn off the LEDs. Select ON to turn on the LEDs. Page 9 / BACKLIGHT BRIGHTNESS (BACKLITE) On this page, you can adjust the brightness of the display. Use the INC / DEC buttons or the VALUE dial to adjust the brightness setting (OFF, 1-9 or FULL for maximum brightness). 40
