Select from the following mode options:
•
PLY (Polyphonic)
Each new pad or ext. trigger strike will trigger the assigned sample and overlap the sound from the
previous strike of the same trigger location.
•
MON (Monophonic)
Each new pad or ext. trigger strike will trigger the assigned sample and stop the sound from the previous
strike of the same trigger location.
•
LOP (Loop)
After a pad or ext. trigger is struck, the sample will continue to playback from the beginning after it
reaches the end of the sample. To stop the loop, strike the pad or ext. trigger again.
•
STP (Stop)
After the pad or ext. trigger is struck, all samples currently being played by SamplePad 4 will be muted.

Mute Groups
Normally, when you strike a pad or ext. trigger when another pad is playing back, the samples of these two pads will
be played back overlapped. With the mute group function, you can stop the playback of the sample of a pad when
you strike another pad or ext. trigger. For example, you can simulate a hi-hat by setting an open hi-hat sound to one
pad, and then setting a closed hi-hat sound to another pad. Then after setting both pads to the same mute group,
these sounds will mute each other out, similar to a real hi-hat.
To assign a pad or ext. trigger to a mute group:
1.
Strike one of the pads or ext. trigger that you want to assign to a Mute Group.
2.
Move the cursor to the MGRP (Mute Group) area by pressing the
Cursor Up
or
Cursor Down
buttons and
use the
Cursor Left
or
Cursor Right
buttons
to select a Mute group. [1-16]
3.
Strike another pad or ext. trigger, navigate to the MGRP, and use the
Cursor Left
or
Cursor Right
buttons to
set this pad to the same number you set for the first pad.
