●Pan
This lets you set the left/right positioning of the pad sound
when using stereo playback. The setting range is L63 (fully
left) to R63 (fully right). This parameter setting is
independent of the track parameter for panning. When you
adjust the track parameter for panning, the overall stereo
balance will be shifted while keeping the relative
positioning of the pad intact.
●Voice Group
Selects the type of sound produced when pads are hit in
succession (PL/MN) and the group to which the pad
belongs (0 – 7). The setting range is PL0 – PL7 and MN0 –
MN7. When PL is selected, hitting two pads in succession
will produce overlapping sound, i.e. the previous sound
continues while the next one starts. When MN is selected,
the previous sound stops when the next one starts.
