Connecting Optional Pads or Pedals
The OCTAPAD lets you connect a hi-hat control pedal (FD-8), kick trigger or pads to the external trigger inputs. The illustration
below shows a typical set of connections, but there are many possibilities; like connecting two kick pedals to the
1/KICK input and the 2/SNARE input.
After connecting any external pads or pedals, you need to set the appropriate Pad Type as described below.
