Chapter 1. Playing the Pads/Making
Pad Settings
For details on basic ways to play the pads, refer to “Playing Samples from the Pads” in the Quick
Start (p. 23).
Here’s how you can make a sample play repeatedly (i.e., “roll”) as long as you hold down a pad.
1. Go to the Play screen (p. 15).
2. Press [ROLL] so the button is lit; this enables the Roll function.
3. Hold down a pad, and the roll will begin.
You can play a roll by pressing any pad [1]–[16], or by pressing multiple pads simultaneously.
You can specify the resolution of the roll. Refer to “Basic Procedure for Pad Utility Settings” (p. 31)
and “Pad Utility Parameters” (p. 31).
4. When you release the pad, the roll will stop.
5. To turn off the Roll function, press [ROLL] so its illumination is turned off.
You can use the Sub Pad to play the sample of the pad you struck most recently. This is a convenient way to play
a drum roll manually.
1. Go to the Play screen (p. 15).
2. Hold down [FUNC] and press pad [9] (PAD UTIL) to get the PAD
UTILITY screen.
3. Press [ ] to move the cursor to the “Sub Pad Sw” line.
4. Turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to turn the setting ON.
Pad [16] will light green, and will now operate as the Sub Pad.
This does not erase the sample of pad [16]; its original
sample will reappear when you turn off the Sub Pad setting.
5. When you press pad [16], the sample of the most recently struck pad will sound.
6. If you turn the “Sub Pad Sw” OFF, pad [16] will go dark, and the Sub Pad function will be disabled.
The Hold function makes a sample continue sounding even after you take your finger off the pad. This is
convenient when you want a phrase loop sample to continue playing.
However, you cannot exceed the maximum polyphony of eight notes even when using the Hold function.
Hold applies only to samples for which GATE playback (p. 50) is specified. Hold does not apply to
samples for which ALTERNATE playback or SHOT playback (p. 50) is specified, nor to the Roll
function (p. 30).
1. Go to the Play screen (p. 15).
2. Press a pad to play its sample.
