Parameter Explanation
Adjusting the volume (Volume)
Volume Adjusts the volume.
Adjusting the pitch (Tuning)
Tuning
Adjusts the pitch. Positive (“+”) settings raise the pitch, and negative (“-”) settings lower the pitch.
The units are cents; 100 cents = one semitone.
Varying the pitch (Sweep)
Sweep
Sweeps the pitch upward (or downward).
With positive (“+”) settings, the pitch starts high and sweeps down; with negative (“-”) settings, the pitch starts low
and sweeps up. Greater values produce greater change.
* In some cases, large changes in “Tuning” may limit the “Sweep” effect.
Adjusting the length of the sound (Muffling)
Muffling Greater values reduce the decay, emphasizing the attack.
Adjusting the tonal character (Color)

Positive (“+”) settings brighten the sound, and negative (“-”) settings darken the sound.

Listening to only instrument A or B
By striking a pad while you hold down the [SHIFT] button, you can listen to only instrument A or B, depending
on the position of the cursor. Even if the sound of instruments A and B are being layered, this allows you to make
adjustments while listening to them separately.
Applying the same values to all pads (ALL)
If you hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [ENTER] button, the value of the selected parameter will be
copied to all pads.
