USING THE DRUM PADS

The MD-1600 has six drum pads that you can use to play percussion sounds independent of the keyboard keys. Sim- ply tap on a drum pad to play the per- cussion sound currently assigned to it. To change the drum pad sounds, use the mixer function to change the tone assigned to Channel 10. See “Using the Mixer” on Page 22.

USING REVERB

The REVERB feature creates ambiance effects by causing the sound to linger and reverberate. Press REVERB so the indicator appears next to the type of re- verb you want.

HALL — creates a concert hall effect.

STAGE — creates the acoustics of a small club.

ROOM — adds the acoustics of a studio.

To turn off REVERB, press REVERB so no indicator appears on the display.

USING SPLIT

The MD-1600’s SPLIT feature lets you play two different tones on opposite ends of the keyboard, so the low-end keys play one tone, and the high-end keys play another. Follow these steps to use SPLIT.

1.Press TONE.

2.Enter the three-digit number for the tone you want the high-end keys to play.

3.Press SPLIT. The SPLIT indicator appears.

4.Enter the three-digit number for the tone you want the low-end keys to play.

5.Hold down SPLIT, and press the key where you want the high-end tones to begin. The selected key’s name appears on the display.

For example, if you set the split point to be F below middle C, F3 appears.

Note: You can change the split point at any time.
