Assigning a sample to a pad
These parameters include playback start and stop position, level, tuning, and panning.
Note that changing these parameters does not affect the original sample. Assigning one sample to several pads and setting these to different parameters result in different sound, but the original sample does not change or become a new sample.
NOTE The [SOURCE] pad on the front panel is a special pad that allows using an external input signal as sound source. It is not used for playing internal samples.
