The SONG screen (Screen Guide; p. 8) will appear.

2.

Use CURSOR [ ] [ ] to select the track you want to play from the pads.

The selected track (the current track) will be highlighted. The sounds played by the velocity pads will change
depending on the type of track you’ve selected (MIDI track, audio track, or pattern track).

3.

Strike the VELOCITY PADS.

The volume will vary depending on the force (velocity) with which you strike the pads. Some sounds will also
change when you apply pressure (aftertouch) to a pad after striking it.

There will be no sound if no partial is assigned to the pad (note number) you strike, or if no audio phrase is
assigned. You’ll need to assign a sound to the pad as described in “Playing the imported data immediately
(Quick Assign)” (p. 75).
●
If the sound to be played is an audio phrase, you can have the volume change according to the force used in
tapping the pads by switching Velocity Control to On. For details, refer to “AUDIO PHRASE EDIT screen”
(Screen Guide; p. 155).
