Selecting and playing Styles
The Pads
The Pads
Each Style can assign different sounds or patterns to the four PADS. These sounds or patterns can be
played along with the Keyboard and Style tracks.
1
Press one of the four PADS.
Hint: You can see
which sounds or patterns
are associated to the
four Pads for the current
Style, by pressing SHIFT +
one of the PAD buttons
to open the Pad page.
You can then return to
the main page by press-
ing the EXIT button.
2
If the selected PAD triggers an endless sound or pattern (i.e. an applause,
or a guitar arpeggio), pressing STOP will stop that sound.
Pads containing patterns or arpeggios play in sync with the Tempo.
3
Select a different Style, and see how the sounds or patterns assigned to
the PADS change.
You can even press more Pads at once, and play two or more sounds or patterns at the same
time. Pressing STOP stops them all at the same time. Keeping STOP pressed and pressing one of
the PAD buttons only stops that sound or pattern.
Adjusting balance between the Style and the keyboard
Balancing between the Keyboard and Style tracks may be useful, to gently fade them and adjust their
respective volume.
• While the Style is playing, use the BALANCE slider (next to the MASTER
VOLUME slider) to balance between the Keyboard and Style volume.
