9To edit the other pad bank of the layered sound, repeat steps 5–8.
10 When you finish making settings, press [EDIT] to return to the Play
mode.
By using a special cable (PCS-31; sold separately) to connect two footswitches (FS-5U; sold separate-
ly) to the FOOT SW jack, you can change parameter values by remote control. While in Edit Mode,
when you press Footswitch 1 you will advance to the next higher parameter value, and when you press
Footswitch 2 you will go down to the next lower parameter value (p. 15). If you connect a single
footswitch (DP-2; sold separately) you can only move up to a higher parameter value, not down to a
lower parameter value.

Setting all pads to the same parameter value

If you press [ALL/ENTER] after step 8, the displayed parameter value will be set for all pads of the cur-
rently selected pad bank.
fig.27
If you are making settings for one of the SPD-20’s pads, the settings will be applied to all 8 pads. If
you are making settings for an external pad, the settings will be applied to all 4 of the external pads,
and all 4 of the external rims.
By assigning the same Instrument to all the pads and setting a different pitch for each, you can play
melodies. The following procedure is an example using a melodic percussion Instrument (M01–M59).
1.Set the INST parameter in the SOUND parameter group to the desired Instrument.
2.Press [ALL/ENTER] to set all pads to the same sound.
3.Adjust the PITCH parameter for each pad.
