Quick Start

Strike a pad, and you’ll hear the sample of that pad.

Go to the Play screen (p. 15).

Press [PAD BANK].

The list of pad banks will appear.

Turn the VALUE dial or use [

][

][DEC][INC] to move the cursor.

You can select pad banks 1–16 directly by pressing pads [1]–[16].
Pressing [F1] (INT) will move the cursor to the internal memory banks,
and pressing [F2] (CARD) will move to the memory card banks.

Pad banks 9–32 are for the memory card. They cannot be
selected unless a memory card is inserted.

Press [F3] (SELECT) or [ENTER].

The selected pad bank will appear in the display.

When the SP-606 is shipped from the factory, pad banks 1–4 contain preloaded data.

Here’s how to adjust the loudness of the sounds produced when you strike the pads. This setting is common to all
sixteen pads.

Go to the Play screen (p. 15).

Hold down [FUNC] and press pad [9] (PAD UTIL) to get the PAD
UTILITY screen.

Use [

][

] to move the cursor to the “Pad Velocity” line.

Turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to select REAL or 1–127.
REAL

: The force with which you strike the pad will determine the

loudness.

1–127

: The loudness will be fixed at the level you specify (127 steps).

If you specified REAL in step 4, press [

] to move the cursor to the “Pad Sens” line.

If you specified a value of 1–127 in step 4, proceed to step 7.

Turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to select either LIGHT, MEDIUM, or HEAVY.
LIGHT

: Sound will be produced even if you strike a pad lightly.

MEDIUM

: This is the standard sensitivity setting.

HEAVY

: You will need to strike a pad strongly in order to produce sound.

Press [EXIT] to return to the Play screen.
