Pad Group

The Pad Group feature extends the concept of Pad

Mutes: you can mute or unmute multiple pads

simultaneously by hitting one pad that you have

assigned to a Mute Group. This is useful if you want

to hear a Sequence without a particular group of

sounds or if you want to isolate specific sounds in

various combinations. You can create up to 16

different Pad Groups.

In the software, do the following to use Pad Groups:

1. Click the Pad Group button in the Mute Section

to activate it.

2. Click the desired bank (A – H) in the Bank

section or Pad Bank section.

3. Click a pad in the Pad Bank section that you want to assign to a Mute Group.

Alternatively, you can click the the miniature pads in Bank section. This section gives you an

overview of all 128 pads at the same time. Unused pads are grayed out.

4. Click and drag the Pad __ field in the Mute Section up or down to select the desired Mute Group

number.

When a pad in a Mute Group is selected, the other pads in that same Mute Group will blink yellow.

Time Correct lets you quantize Pad Mutes. This is useful when you want your mutes to line up with a

specific time division. Click the Time Correct drop-down menu and select a value from 1/16th (sixteenth

notes) to 2 bar (2 bars). For example, with Time Correct set to 1 bar, your mutes will always align with

the beginning of the measure immediately after you press the pad.
