• The Note field:

This field is used to assign the 16 Levels function to one of the 64

possible note numbers (35-98). When 16 Levels mode is on, all 16

pads will play one sound but at 16 evenly spaced levels of either

velocity, tuning, decay, attack, or filter frequency. Select a sound by

pressing a pad. This will automatically select the note number that

is currently assigned to the selected pad. For convenience, the sound

name currently assigned to the selected note number in the active

program is displayed.

• The Param field:

This is a choice field with two choices:

1. VELOCITY:

If this option is selected, and 16 LEVELS mode is on,

then the selected note number and sound will play from

all 16 pads, but at 16 fixed velocity levels with the softest

level on the lower leftmost pad and the loudest level on

the upper rightmost pad.

2. NOTE VAR:

If this option is selected, and 16 LEVELS mode is on,

then the selected note number and sound will play from

all 16 pads, but at 16 fixed levels of tuning, decay, attack,

or filter frequency using the Note Variation data stored

with each drum note in the sequence.

• The Note Variation Parameter field (NOTE VAR

(TUNING)(TUNING)

(TUNING) in the

screen example above):

This field has no label and appears only if NOTE VAR is selected

in the Param field. It is a choice field and is used to determine

which of the four Note Variation parameters is active. The four

choices are:

1. (TUNING):

If selected, the 16 pads play a single sound but at 16

chromatic tunings. The tuning range is controlled by the

Center pad field to the right.

2. (DECAY):

If selected, the 16 pads play a single sound but at 16

evenly spaced levels of envelope decay. The range of decay

values is set in the Assign Note Variation screen.

3. (ATTACK):

If selected, the 16 pads play a single sound but at 16

evenly spaced levels of envelope attack. The range of

attack values is set in the Assign Note Variation screen.

4. (FILTER):

If selected, the 16 pads play a single sound but at 16

evenly spaced levels of filter frequency. The range of filter

frequency values is set in the Assign Note Variation

screen.

• The Center pad field:

This field only appears if the Param field is set to NOTE VAR

and the Note Variation Parameter field is set to (TUNING). It is

used to set the tuning range of the 16 pads by selecting which of

1 2 ... 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 ... 275 276
