the 16 pads will play the sound at no tuning change. Regardless

of this center pad, higher numbered pads play higher chromatic

tunings and lower numbered pads play lower chromatic tunings.

In order to limit the entire tuning range of the 16 pads to within

+/- one octave, only pads 4 through 13 can be selected. For

example, if pad 4 is selected, the tuning range is from -30 (-3

semitones at pad 1) through 0 (no tuning change at pad 4) to

+120 (+12 semitones at pad 16).

To turn the 16 Levels function on:

1. Press the 16 LEVELS key. The 16 Levels screen will

appear.

2. Press the pad of the drum you want to use. The Note

field will immediately show the note number assigned to

that pad along with the pad number pressed and the

currently assigned sound name.

3. Set the Param field to the desired parameter, and, if

NOTE VAR is selected, also set the Note Variation Pa-

rameter field to the right.

4. Press the <Turn on, exit> soft key. This will turn the

light above the 16 LEVELS key on and cause the Play/

Record screen to be displayed. Now the sound you se-

lected will play from all 16 pads, but at 16 fixed levels of

the parameter you selected.

To turn the 16 Levels function off:

Press the 16 LEVELS key again. The light will go out, indicating

that normal pad function has returned.
