Active Pad
What is Active Pad?
The Active Pad display shows the current drum kit articulation that is "ready for
assignment." "Assignment" means that any changes you make to IRC, Note
Repeat, Amp Envelope, Filter Envelope, or effects will be applied to this
articulation if its number is displayed in the Active Pad field and if Edit All Pads
is not selected.
Clicking on a pad in the graphical interface will make it "active." However, since the kick, snare,
hi-hat, and ride cymbal all contain multiple articulations that share the same display, it's
important to understand how to make each of these "active" when you want to edit them.
To make editing easier, here's a breakdown of all available articulations, their corresponding
drum numbers and how they relate to the default MIDI mapping that auto-loads the first time
you open Big Bang Universal Drums:
