Pads

Important: Global Mode contains other parameters that affect the pads but are saved only

with the global settings, not with the Preset. See the Global Mode: Pads section for more

information.

Type: The type of message that will be sent. The available settings are Note, Program

Change, and Program Bank.

Tip: For more information about Program Change and Program Bank messages, please see

the Program Change Mode chapter of this guide.

MIDI Channel: This setting determines over which MIDI channel the messages are sent. The

available settings are Common, USB A1–A16, and USB B1–B16.

Note: If Note is the selected Type, this assigns the note number the pad will send when

played.

Aftertouch (Aft): This determines the pad's Aftertouch settings. The available options are Off,

Channel Aftertouch (Ch), and Poly Aftertouch (Poly).

Important: Aftertouch refers to MIDI information sent when pressure is applied to a pad after it

has been played and while it is being held down. Aftertouch is often used to control volume,

vibrato and other parameters. When set to Poly, the pad will transmit Aftertouch information

independently from the other pads. When set to Ch, all pads assigned to a particular MIDI

Channel will transmit Aftertouch information as a group (applying pressure to any pad

assigned to the same MIDI channel will send Aftertouch information).

Program Number (Pgm): If Program Change or Program Bank is the selected Type, this

determines the Program number. The available range is 000–127.

Tip: For more information about Program Change and Program Bank messages, please see

the Program Change Mode chapter of this guide.
