You will hear how the pressure placed on one pad can mute the sound of another, very useful when playing
congas or bongos etc. This is an example of the “mute” function, and demonstrates pad interactivity and

“OFF.”

Hit the right pad once, and use the [+]/[-] buttons or the Control knob change the pitch-change amount. Set
this as you wish. Then while playing the right pad, place your left hand on the left pad, and apply pressure.
Now you can hear how one pad can control the pitch of another with pressure.
