25. Sampler / Velocity: This Pad Mode button switches the pads between Sample Player

Mode and Sample Velocity Trigger Mode. When the button is unlit, the first press will

always select Sample Player Mode.

• Sample Player Mode: Pads 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 each trigger a sample, which you

can assign in the software (the volume level is also set in the software). Unlit pads

have no sample assigned to them. Solidly lit pads have a sample assigned but are

not triggered. Flashing pads have a sample assigned and are currently playing.

To immediately stop playback of a sample:

o Trigger Mode or On/Off Mode: Press and hold Shift and then press the

corresponding pad.

o Hold Mode: Release the corresponding pad.

To cycle through the available Sample Play Modes, press Pad 4.

To activate or deactivate Sample Player Repeat, press Pad 8.

• Sample Velocity Trigger Mode: The pads behave identically to the pads in Sample

Player Mode, except they are velocity-sensitive, so triggered samples will play back

at a volume level proportional to how heavily you pressed the pads. This mode can

give your performance more of a "human feel."
