Setting the MIDI Note Number

Press the [FUNCTION] button once, then press the [DRUM 1] or

After a while, the MIDI note number currently assigned to Pad 1
appears next to the “not” indication.

Strike any pad to see the currently assigned MIDI note number for the
pad in the display. Sharp notes are indicated by a beat lamp on the right
side of the display.

To select the desired MIDI note number, turn the DIAL to the right
(clockwise) and the MIDI note numbers will increase. Turn the DIAL
to the left (counter-clockwise) and MIDI note numbers will decrease.

• You can also select the MIDI note number by striking the pad repeatedly.

Every time the pad is struck, the value will increase by semitone steps.

• When you select a drum Kit or Custom Kit, the MIDI Note Number will be

applied to the preset value. If the Auto Kit Select is set to ON and another
Song is selected, the MIDI Note Number will be applied to the preset value.

• MIDI Note Number Auto Selection ON/OFF is automatically turned off

when a MIDI Note Number is changed.
