8.2 Playing the pads
The bass drum, snare, hi-hat and cymbals of an analog drum set are replaced by pads
here. When you strike a pad, an integrated trigger produces the previously assigned
voice via the drum module. The harder you hit a pad, the louder the sound produced.
Tom pads have only one trigger and must be hit in the center in order to produce a
sound.
Crash and ride pads have only one trigger and must be hit in the slightly thicker
rubber-coated zone to produce a sound.
The crash pad can be muted with the hand just like an analog cymbal (choke func‐
tion).
The snare pad has two triggers: the center trigger produces the typical snare sound,
while the rim trigger produces rim shots.
