Pad Operations
You can use the pads to play or create phrases (p. 26). You can also use the pads to select sections (p. 16).
There are five operation modes for the pads: Note mode, Style mode, Velocity mode, Chord mode and Section Select mode. Switch between
operation modes as needed.

Playing the Pads
The pads operate according to the track type (p. 18), as follows.

This lets you play the drum kit sounds with the pads. Different tones
(drum instruments) are assigned to each pad.

You can mute drum instruments that you want when playing back a
clip. By copying a clip (p. 20) and muting the kick or snare drum, you
can create more rhythm pattern variations.
