Kit Items

This section describes the items that make up a kit, as well as their setting range.

Pad 1: PAD INST

Selects the instrument sound to be used for each pad. When this item is selected, a number for the general sound category and a number for each instrument sound is shown.

Category number
Pad number	Instrument number

1212

Each push of the [VALUE +/-] keys moves the instrument number one increment up or down. When the highest or lowest instrument number for that category is reached, the unit switches to the next category. The number of instruments differs for the various categories. For a list of categories and instrument sounds, refer to the "Reference" section at the end of this manual.

HINT

Pads 5 and 7 of pad bank A are special pads. The sound assigned to these two pads cannot be produced simultaneously. (When one pad is hit while the other is playing, the first sound stops.) This is useful for assigning two sounds that should not be played together, such as open/closed hi-hat.

Pad 3: INST TUNE

Allows tuning the pitch of the instrument sound assigned to a pad. Adjustment is possible from zero over a range of ±7.9 semitones, in 0.1 semitone steps.

Pad number INST TUNE value

112

Pad 5: INST PAN

Allows adjusting the panning (stereo left/right position) of the instrument sound assigned to a pad. Adjustment is possible over a range of L63 (fully left) – C (center) – R63 (fully right).
