Percussion Pads
Using the Percussion Pads
Each of the five built-in percussion pads is assigned
the sound of a percussion instrument (ACOUSTIC
SNARE 1, OPEN HI-HAT, CLOSED HI-HAT, BASS
DRUM 1, HIGH TOM). Tapping a pad with your
finger plays the sound assigned to it.
Assigning Sounds to
Percussion Pads
You can assign the percussion sound you want to
each of the percussion pads.
NOTE
• Turning off power causes the sounds
assigned to the percussion pads to return to
their initial defaults.

While holding down the TONE button, use
the number buttons to input 49, which
selects the Percussion tone.
2
Look at the 16 white keys (C3 through D5)
in the center of the keyboard that are
marked with images of percussion
instruments, and find the sound you want
to assign to a pad.
3
While pressing down on the percussion pad
to which you want to assign the sound, press
the white key you selected in step 2.
4
Tap the percussion pad with your finger to
hear the sound assigned to it.
Transpose
The initial power on default setting is middle C
(00). You can transpose the key of the keyboard in
semitone steps in the range of –6 to +6.
1
Press the TRANSPOSE [ ] button to raise
the key one semitone, or the TRANSPOSE
[
] button to lower it one semitone.
• To return the tuning to its initial power on
default setting (00), press the TRANSPOSE
[
