You can also select Patches using a Footswitch. The Patch settings you make will depend on the combination of pedals, Pads, and MIDI devices you are using. You can also use MIDI Exclusive messages to store Patch data in an external sequencer or other device (p.62). 6. What is a Patch Chain? A Patch Chain is a sequence (that you create) of up to 16 Patches. The SPD-11 can store 4 of these Patch Chains. It is often convenient to create a Patch Chain for a song or a concert performance.

The 8 Pads of the SPD-11 together with 4 external pads (plus the 4 rims)—for a total of 16 Pads—are referred to as a Pad Bank. Each Patch contains two Pad Bank settings, A and B. id 4 id 8 When you select a Patch, the PAD BANK indicator will show which bank the Patch uses. If the Layer function (explained below) is used in that Patch, both PAD BANK indicators (A and B) will be lit. 8. What is the Layer function? Layer means that two sounds are played simultaneously. The Layer setting is stored as part of each Patch. A Patch for which Layer is enabled will simultaneously play the sounds of both Pad Banks (A and B). In this case, however, you will only be able to play half as many notes simultaneously (a maximum of 7). Layer sounds opens the door for really creative expressions. [ Ways to use the Layer function] By assigning different Instruments to Pad Banks A and B, and setting Pad Banks A and B to different Velocity Curves, your playing dynamics can cross-fade or switch between the two sounds.

However, the same data is also preserved in ROM, and can be restored at any time. This procedure is called System Initialize. ROM: This is an abbreviation for Read Only Memory, which is a type of memory that can only be read; modification or deletion is not possible. The explanations in this manual assume that the SPD-11 is still in its factory initialized state. We recommend that before you begin using the unit, you perform this System Initialize operation. When you execute the System Initialize operation, all your edited data will be lost. If your SPD-11 contains important edited data, you should make a note of the settings or store the data in an external device such as a sequencer (p.62). 17 1 SPD-1 1 1. While holding CJi and [ALL/ENTER], turn the power on. The following display will appear. 2. Press [ALL/ENTER] and the data will be initialized. If you wish to quit without initializing, press any key other than [ALL/ENTER]. Using the SPD-11 by itself Unlike many other MIDI devices, the SPD-11 does not have a complicated hierarchical parameter structure. All parameters are printed on the front pane! for easy operation. In addition, the SPD-11 is a portable and self-contained unit which can be easily carried into a studio or played in your own room at any time. This Chapter will discuss using the SPD-11 on its own. 18 [1] Connection to audio equipment With the SPD-11, you can produce realistic sounds simply by connecting an audio system. You can also use headphones. era 7 Slereo Headphones s 1 IM 1' o o Audio equipment (Stereo set) tt n Special cable (PCS-31) Footswitches (FS-5U) Make all connections with the power turned off. If the power is on while you make connections, you may damage your speakers. [2] Playing the Pads When connections are complete, you can play the SPD-11. 1. Turning the power on The POWER switch is on the rear panel. 1. Check that all connections with other devices are correct, and that everything is off. 2. Press the power switch to turn the unit on.
