Pads

Important: Global Mode contains other parameters that affect the pads but are saved only

with the global settings, not with the Preset. See the Global Mode: Pads section for more information.

Type: The type of message that will be sent. The available settings are Note, Program Change, and Program Bank.

Tip: For more information about Program Change and Program Bank messages, please see the Program Change Mode chapter of this guide.

MIDI Channel: This setting determines over which MIDI channel the messages are sent. The available settings are Common, USB A1A16, and USB B1B16.

Note: If Note is the selected Type, this assigns the note number the pad will send when played.

Aftertouch (Aft): This determines the pad's Aftertouch settings. The available options are Off, Channel Aftertouch (Ch), and Poly Aftertouch (Poly).

Important: Aftertouch refers to MIDI information sent when pressure is applied to a pad after it has been played and while it is being held down. Aftertouch is often used to control volume, vibrato and other parameters. When set to Poly, the pad will transmit Aftertouch information independently from the other pads. When set to Ch, all pads assigned to a particular MIDI Channel will transmit Aftertouch information as a group (applying pressure to any pad assigned to the same MIDI channel will send Aftertouch information).

Program Number (Pgm): If Program Change or Program Bank is the selected Type, this determines the Program number. The available range is 000127.

Tip: For more information about Program Change and Program Bank messages, please see the Program Change Mode chapter of this guide.
