NotesEach of the 3 percussion pads in the Dr. Pad series provides 6 different digital sound sources. The pads are pressure sensitive so the sound can be dynamically controlled by tapping force. The pitch sensitivity knob controls the sound's pitch against tapping force and there's also sweep time and range knobs for up/down pitch bending control. Using the mix in jack, two or three pads can be connected together. The Dr. Pad can also be used to trigger an external drum machine using the trigger in jack.
