2. Use the [<] and [>] buttons to select a setting and the [+] and [-] buttons to edit that setting.
3. After editing the settings, return to the top screen of Kit Mode and press the [ENTER] button to go to the User Kit save screen.
4. Use the [+] and [-] buttons to select the User Kit number (U01–U50) that is the save destination.
5. Press the [ENTER] button to display the Kit Name edit screen. The cursor will appear at the left end of the Kit Name.

This detailed explanation corresponds with Step 2 of the “Basic procedure.”
You can set the operation for each Pad in the currently selected Kit. Press the [ENTER] button to move to the PadEdit menu level. Use the [<] and [>] buttons to select one of the items in the following list, and hit the Pad whose settings you want to change.

Default values are unique to each Kit.
Note Repeat when operating Pads
Item (Display) | Description | Setting Range |
Abbreviation for "Note Repeat Rate." When this is set to anything other than Off, the Voice assigned to a Pad will be generated repeatedly at the set interval according to the current tempo while that Pad is pressed further (while Aftertouch is enabled). When Note Repeat Type = Down (down beat) If the time signature is 4/4, a Note Repeat setting of 1 repeats the Voice only on the first beat of the measure, 1/2 repeats only on the first and third beats, 1/4 repeats on all beats, 1/8 repeats at eighth-note intervals, 1/16 repeats at sixteenth-note intervals, and 1/32 repeats at thirty-second-note intervals. If the value ends with a T (Triplet), the Voice will repeat on triplets of each of these settings. When Note Repeat Type = Up (up beat) If the time signature is 4/4, a Note Repeat setting of 1 repeats the Voice only on the third beat of the measure, 1/2 repeats only on the second and fourth beats, 1/4 repeats on the “and” of all beats, 1/8 repeats on the “and” of each eighth-note, 1/16 repeats on the “and” of each sixteenth-note, and 1/32 repeats on the “and” of each thirty-second-note. If the value ends with a T (Triplet), the Voice will repeat on triplets of each of these settings. NOTE To add swing to Note Repeat, configure the [MENU]→Utility→Swing. | Off, 1, 1/2, 1/2T, 1/4, 1/4T, 1/8, 1/8T, 1/16, 1/16T, 1/32 | |
NoteRepTyp | Abbreviation for "Note Repeat Type." This sets whether a Pad Voice is repeated on the down beat or the up beat when using Note Repeat Rate. | Down, Up |
Note On/Off when operating Pads (Hold Mode)
Item (Display) | Description | Setting Range |
This switches the behavior of the Note On/Off output when the designated Pad is hit. When set to “Off,” Note On is output when the Pad is hit, and Note Off is output if Aftertouch is not used. When set to “On,” Note On and Note Off are output alternately each time the Pad is hit. If Note Repeat Rate for the designated Pad is set to anything other than Off, setting this item to “On” will toggle start/stop for Note Repeat each time the Pad is hit. If a User Sample is assigned to a Voice on the designated Pad, setting this item to “On” will toggle start/stop for repeat of the User Sample each time the Pad is hit. | Off, On |
Mute when operating Pads
Item (Display) | Description | Setting Range |
NoteOnMut | Abbreviation for "Note On Mute." This is used to mute "On" or not mute "Off" the Voice when a Pad that is being played back is sending Note On. (If "HoldMode"="Off," hit the Pad one more time. If "HoldMode"="On," hit the Pad two more times.) | Off, On |
NoteOffMut | Abbreviation for “Note Off Mute.” This is used to mute "On" or not mute "Off" the Voice when a Pad that is being played back is sending Note Off. (If "HoldMode"="Off," do not press the Pad further. If "HoldMode"="On," hit the Pad one more time.) | Off, On |
Mute/Playback of Pad Groups when operating Pads (Choke/Link)
Item (Display) | Description | Setting Range |
By hitting a Pad, you can naturally mute the Voice of all Pads that are being played back. The group of Pads to be muted can be grouped together as a Choke Group. You can save up to 16 Choke Groups. Here, the designated Pad is registered to one of the Choke Groups. | Off, 1–16 | |
This sets whether the specified Pad sends ("Send") or receives ("Receive") a mute command within the Choke Group. | Send, Receive, Send&Receive | |
LinkGroup | By hitting a Pad, you can play back the Voices that are assigned to other Pads simultaneously. The group of Pads to be played back simultaneously can be grouped together as a Link Group. You can save up to 16 Link Groups. Here, the designated Pad is registered to one of the Link Groups. | Off, 1–16 |
This sets whether the designated Pad is playing back other Pads ("Send") in the Link Group or being played back ("Receive.") | Send, Receive, Send&Receive |
Effective velocity range for Voices when operating Pads (Velocity Limit)
Item (Display) | Description | Setting Range |
Abbreviation for "Velocity Limit Low." This sets the lower limit of velocity required for playback. Voices that are assigned to Pads will play back at velocities higher than the value set here. If this item is set to a value greater than that for Velocity Limit High, playback will occur when the velocity is between 1 and the value set for Velocity Limit High and between the value set for Velocity Limit Low and 127. | 1–127 | |
Abbreviation for "Velocity Limit High." This sets the upper limit of velocity required for playback. Voices that are assigned to Pads will play back at velocities lower than the value set here. If this item is set to a value less than that for Velocity Limit Low, playback will occur when the velocity is between 1 and the value set for Velocity Limit High and between the value set for Velocity Limit Low and 127. | 1–127 |

Effect of hitting the same Pad repeatedly
Item (Display) | Description | Setting Range |
Humanize | When this is turned on (1–4), a natural variation is applied so that the Voice is not too uniform when the same Pad is hit repeatedly. The effect becomes greater as the value increases. | Off, 1–4 |

Voice-related settings
Item (Display) | Description | Setting Range |
Volume | Adjusts the volume of the designated Pad Voice. | 0–127 |
Pan | Sets the pan (stereo orientation) of the designated Pad Voice. | L63–C–R63 |
Sets the pitch of the designated Pad Voice (1.0 = 100cent = semitone). For example, a larger value for a snare drum results in a higher pitched tuning, and a smaller value for a cymbal results in a larger diameter. | -24.0–0.0–+24.0 | |
Sets the decay (the time it takes a sound to fade) of the designated Pad Voice. For example, a smaller value for a snare drum produces the effect of a muted head, while a smaller value for a cymbal produces a shorter sustain. For open hi-hats, the smaller the value, the more the effect is like closing a half-open hi-hat. | -64–0 | |
Cutoff | Sets the cutoff frequency of the filter applied to the designated Pad Voice. | -64–0–+63 |
Resonance | Sets the Q of the filter applied to the designated Pad Voice. | -64–0–+63 |
Adjusts the amount of reverb applied to the designated Pad Voice (send amount). The amount applied to each Pad Voice is multiplied by the value set for KitEdit→ReverbSend. | 0–127 | |
Adjusts the amount of chorus applied to the designated Pad Voice (send amount). The amount applied to each Pad Voice is multiplied by the value set for KitEdit→ChorusSend. | 0–127 | |
Abbreviation for "Variation Send." This adjusts the amount of variation applied to the designated Pad Voice (send amount). The amount applied to each Pad Voice is multiplied by the value set for KitEdit→VariationSend. | 0–127 |
Interlock Edit
This detailed explanation corresponds with Step 2 of the “Basic procedure.”
If this item is set to On, when you change the settings in [KIT]→PadEdit and [KIT]→VoiceEdit, the settings of symmetrically opposite Pads (H1 and H3, T1 and T6, T2 and T5, T3 and T4) are flipped. If you switch this item from Off to On, these symmetrical Pad pairs will have the same settings, as shown in the figure below.
• If [MENU]→Utility→PadLayout is set to “Right,” the settings for the Pads on the right are applied to the Pads on the left.
• If [MENU]→Utility→PadLayout is set to “Left,” the settings for the Pads on the left are applied to the Pads on the right.
