Frequently Asked Questions
How can I remove unused sample data to free up memory?
Use the SAMPLE CLEANUP function in patch mode; this deletes redundant user sample waveform data that remains after a pattern is overwritten.
How do I make notes transmitted via MIDI play at different pitches or channels?
You can use Pad Note Switch, Pad Note Number, and Pad Note Channel settings to define octave shifts, specific note numbers (C-G9), or MIDI channels for the pads.
Can I program my drums/phrases multiple times without re-entering data?
Press the [LOOP] button while using a pad so that the triggered note is held down even after you release your hand from the pad, allowing continuous playing of phrases.
