Overview on the Style and Pads |769
How Pads are made
The Pads
A Pad is basically a single-track, single Style Element Style. Most of what applies
to Style recording also applies to Pad recording. There are two different catego-
ries of Pads: Loop-type ( ) and One Shot-type ( ).
Pad type Meaning
Loop Cycling single-track patterns, that can be transposed by playing differ-
ent chords on the keyboard – exactly as a Style track. They can also be
Drum tracks, that will not be transposed.
One Shot Single hits. While they are mostly used as non-transposing events, they
can also be transposing notes or chords. Basically, they are single-note
or single-chord patterns (see below).
Each Pad is made up of up to six smaller units, called Chord Variations (CV). Each
Chord Variation is assigned to a single track (the Pad track).
Exactly as with the Styles, when playing a chord in the chord recognition area,
the corresponding Chord Variation is recalled. Recognized chords are associated
to a Chord Variation by means of the Chord Variation Table. Each Pad contains a
Chord Variation Table.
The Pad structure
The Pad structure is the same of a single-track Style Element, as shown in the
following diagram:
