active. (See the following item.)
NOTE
The instruments recorded in a pattern cannot be changed later by
pressing [PAD BANK].

Taking Advantage of This Function
If you assign the same instrument to the same pad of both
pad banks A and B, and slightly lower the pitch (p. 72) of one
instrument, using Pad Bank Layer to play both instruments
simultaneously will produce a richer sound.
If you assign different instruments to pad bank A and pad
bank B, and make separate Sensitivity Curve settings (p. 76)
for each instrument, differences in the force with which you
strike the pad when Pad Bank Layer is used will allow you to
shift between the two instruments, or create other complex
tonal changes.
