the following parameters

from the memory card.

Mode
Specify how you want the pad song to play back.
❏
Settings:
• play: Song playback will start or stop each time you hit the pad.
Song will always play from the beginning.
• chase: Each time you hit the pad, the song will play one measure
and automatically stop. If you hit the pad during playback, the
song will resume playback from the next measure.
• cutoff: Song playback will start or stop each time you hit the
pad. If you start a different pad song during playback, the
current song will stop.
n
When you play multiple songs (main song and pad songs) with one
drum kit, keep in mind the MIDI channel assignments for those
songs. You may get unexpected and confusing results if different
data in two or more songs share the same MIDI channel.
[TrgMIDI1] Key On Mode
In this page you can specify how MIDI Note On events will
be triggered when a pad is hit. Triggering by hitting a pad can
be associated with pressing a key on the keyboard, and a
triggered note will sound according to a specific rule. This
rule is called the Key On mode.
1
Input=
Select a target trigger input (1 to 16). For trigger inputs 1 to
8, you can select from two rims (1R1, 1R2, ..., 8R1, 8R2).
n
Rim settings are effective with a dual trigger pad. In the Pad-to-
Input Matching Chart (page 16), for combinations indicated by “A
(Best)” or “B (Good),” you can use up to two rims. You cannot use
the pad rim for “C (Fair)” combinations.
2
Mode
Specify the Key On mode for note numbers (page 42)
assigned to the target input
1
.
Each of the trigger inputs 1 to 16 (except for rims) can be
assigned to play up to six notes simultaneously (stack mode),
or up to nine different notes played in turns (alternate mode).
Each of these has two different modes, mono and multi. In
mono mode, previously triggered notes will be muted by
newly triggered ones.
❏
Settings for other than rims
(R1 and R2):
• stack: Stack & multi mode.
• alter: Alternate & multi mode.
• stkmono: Stack & mono mode.
• altmono: Alternate & mono mode.
• hold: A variation of stack & mono mode, letting notes triggered
by hitting the pad continue sounding until you hit it a second
time.
n
If you only trigger a drum voice by hitting a pad, and do not play
either a chord (stacked notes) or a phrase (alternate notes), select a
multi mode (stack or alter) here. If you select a mono mode, it will
cut off notes triggered continuously, producing unnatural sounds.
There are three Key On modes for rims: Single mode, which
is suitable for closed rimshots (cross sticking); hold mode,
which is for sounding a rim voice as long as you want; and
withpad mode, which is suitable for open rimshots.
❏
Settings for rims
(R1 and R2 only):
• single: Plays a drum voice assigned to the rim of the target input
1
.
• hold: A variation of single mode, letting a rim voice triggered by
hitting the rim continue sounding until you hit it again.
• withpad: Simultaneously plays a drum voice (and other stacked
or alternate notes) and a rim voice for the target input
1
each
time you hit the rim.
