Using the PadsSetting the Velocity for All Sixteen Pads atOnceUse this when you want to specify a common velocity for all sixteenpads. However if the pad velocity setting (of each pad) is set to otherthan Common, those settings will be used.• Pad Common Velo (Pad Common Velocity)For all sixteen pads, this specifies the velocity (loudness) that isproduced when you strike a pad. With the “REAL” setting,you’ll be able to produce dynamics by varying your strikingforce. With a setting of “1–127,” the pads will produce thespecified velocity value regardless of your actual striking force.Value: REAL, 1–127Adjusting the Pad Sensitivity• Pad Sens (Pad Sensitivity)Specifies the relation between your striking force and thevelocity that is produced.ValueLIGHT:It will be easy to produce the maximum velocitywithout having to strike very hard.MEDIUM: This is the standard pad sensitivity setting.HEAVY:You will have to strike quite strongly to produce themaximum velocity.Writing the Pad SettingsYou can save one set of settings as System settings for Patch mode.Press [F8 (System Write)] to save the settings.If you make settings in Performance mode, the pad settings will alsobe saved when you save the performance. This means that inPerformance mode, you can have separate pad settings for eachperformance.For details on how to save a performance, refer to“Saving aPerformance You’ve Created (Write)” (p. 120).Mode Parameter Write procedurePerformancemodePad Common VeloPad SensAftertouch SensRoll ResolutionPad settings otherthan the abovePress [F8 (SystemWrite)]* Save as System parametersPress [WRITE].* Saved as performanceparameters.Patch mode All pad settings Press [F8 (SystemWrite)].* Saved as System parameter.Adjusting the Aftertouch Sensitivity• Aftertouch Sens (Aftertouch Sensitivity)“Aftertouch” means additional pressure that you apply on apad after striking it. This setting adjusts the aftertouchsensitivity. Higher values make it easier to apply aftertouch.Normally you will leave this at a setting of “100.”Value: 0–100Settings for the ROLL Button• Roll ResolutionSpecifies the rapidity of the repeated strikes when you use apad to play a roll.Value: , , , , , , ,Exchanging the Sound of TwoPads (Pad Exchange)Here’s how to exchange the sound of two selected pads.* This setting exchanges the note numbers transmitted by the pads. Thismeans that even if you execute this function, there’s no need to make asimilar change for the sound generator settings.1. Press [F6 (Pad Exchg)].2. Select the number of a pad you want to exchange.Use the VALUE dial or [INC][DEC], or strike a pad directly tomake your selection.fig.16-004e3. Press [F8 (EXEC)] to execute.* If you decide to cancel, press [F7 (Cancel)].162
