Playing a Pattern by Hitting a
Pad (PAD PATTERN)
PAD PATTERN
This function starts playback of a pattern when a pad is
struck. This function provides a very convenient way to use
patterns during a live performance.
• If different patterns have been assigned to two or more pads,
striking another pad while a pattern is playing back will cause
pattern playback to switch to the newly selected pattern. If you
have switched to a pattern whose instrument settings are
different, the sound may be interrupted for an instant.
• Performances using the Pad Pattern function cannot be
recorded to sequencers.
• When the song is selected, patterns set to One Shot, or Loop
Play cannot be played back with the Pad Pattern function.
Only patterns set to Tap Play can be played back.
