Press the appropriate drum pad, for example, the 

[ 6 - BD ]

 pad. The note 

indicator for the event turns off.

Modifying the Level or Pad

You can change the level or pad of an event.

Use the

 and 

[BACKWARD]

 buttons to locate the note event. Press 

the 

[

 cursor button to change the focus to the “

LEVEL

” prompt.

Change the level by rotating the Jog Dial or by using the 

[ +1 ]

 and 

[ –1 ]

buttons.

Press the 

[

 cursor button again to change the focus to the “

PAD

” prompt. 

Select another pad by rotating the Jog Dial or by using the 

[ +1 ]

IMPORTANT

If you decide that you DO NOT want to delete a note from the pattern, you can 

cancel this operation by simply releasing the

NOTE

An alternate method is to press and hold the

the

this case, only the selected note will be deleted.

NOTE

The level value changes in increments of 4. For example, increasing the level “

087

” 

(shown above) by one step changes it to “

091

”.

NOTE

As you change the pad number, notice that the Note indicator changes from track to 

track. Also, see the note on page 42 for an alternative way of accessing a note event.
