When Setting Multiple Pads to the Same Note Number
When the note number is set to be more than one pad received, the instrument assigned to the pad with the lowest TRIGGER INPUT number is played. When note numbers for the head and rim are duplicated, the head instrument is played.
An asterisk (*) appears at the right of the note number for TRIGGER INPUTS that are not sounded.
Example:
Note number “38 (D 2)” is set for the head and rim of TRIGGER INPUT 2 (SNARE) and the head of TRIGGER INPUT 3 (TOM 1). In this case, when Note Number “38” is received, the instrument assigned to the head of TRIGGER INPUT 2 (SNARE) is played.
About the Gate Time
Percussion sound modules normally produce sound only in response to “Note on” messages, and ignore “Note off” messages. However
For example, if you are triggering a “loop” in a sampler, or other sounds then the gate time parameter is very important. With the factory defaults (preset values), the transmitted gate time is set to the minimum value.
