Performing with a Song
29
The term “pad song” refers to songs that can be played by striking a specific drum pad. In the
same way as snare sounds are produced by striking a pad to which a snare voice has been
assigned, you can start and stop the playback of pad songs by striking the pads to which they are
assigned.
Assigning a pad song to a pad
1.
Press the [KIT] button to access the Kit area.
2.
Using the Data Dial, select the kit you wish to edit.
3.
Navigate to the KIT2 page using the [
<
]/[
>
] buttons.
4.
To select an input source, hold down the [SHIFT]
button and strike the corresponding pad or zone.
Playing Pad Songs
When any of a kit’s parameters
have been changed but not yet
saved, an asterisk (
*
) will
appear beside the page name at
the top-left of the screen. The
asterisk will disappear when
you save your settings. (See
page 25.)

Input Sources
Each zone of an instrument (page 20) corresponds to one of the drum mod-
ule’s input sources. The snare instrument, for example, combines three dis-
tinct input sources—the head, the open rim, and the closed rim. As shown
in the table, only the snare, the ride cymbal, the crash cymbal, and the hi-
hat have more than one input source.
