Playing the pad samples
Making the sound continue even after
you release the pad—Hold
In some cases, you may want a sample whose Pad Play setting (p. 70) is set to
“GATE” (start sounding when you press the pad, and stop sounding when you
release it) to continue sounding even after you take your hand away from the pad.
In such cases, you can use the Hold function.
Using Hold
1. Hold down a pad that is set to “GATE,” and press [HOLD].
[HOLD] will light, indicating that Hold has been enabled. The sample will continue
playing even after you release [HOLD] or the pad.
2. Press [HOLD] once again.
[HOLD] will go out, Hold will be cancelled, and the sample will stop sounding.
Using Hold for multiple samples
After you have enabled Hold in step 1 of the preceding procedure,
1. Hold down another pad and press [HOLD].
Both samples will be held, and will continue playing even after you release [HOLD]
or the pad.
2. Press [HOLD] once again.
[HOLD] will go out, Hold will be cancelled, and both samples will stop sounding.
Hold will not function if the
Pad Play setting (p. 70) is
“DRUM.”
You can obtain a result similar
to Hold by setting the Hold
Play setting (p. 70) to
“TRIGGER.”
