25. Sampler / Velocity: This Pad Mode button switches the pads between Sample Player
Mode and Sample Velocity Trigger Mode. When the button is unlit, the first press will
always select Sample Player Mode.

Sample Player Mode: Pads 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 each trigger a sample, which you
can assign in the software (the volume level is also set in the software). Unlit pads
have no sample assigned to them. Solidly lit pads have a sample assigned but are
not triggered. Flashing pads have a sample assigned and are currently playing.
To immediately stop playback of a sample:
Trigger Mode or On/Off Mode: Press and hold Shift and then press the
o
corresponding pad.
Hold Mode: Release the corresponding pad.
o
To cycle through the available Sample Play Modes, press Pad 4.
To activate or deactivate Sample Player Repeat, press Pad 8.
•
Sample Velocity Trigger Mode: The pads behave identically to the pads in Sample
Player Mode, except they are velocity-sensitive, so triggered samples will play back
at a volume level proportional to how heavily you pressed the pads. This mode can
give your performance more of a "human feel."
