Hitting the pad harder will make the gate time longer. QSet the Mode Switch 3 to ON. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 * Here, the Value Knob cannot be used for gate time adjustment. * When the Mode Switches 3 and 4 are simultaneously ON, the Mode Switch 3 (dynamics control) will have priority. Hit softly Hit hard | Sounding time I (Gate Time) n 4. HOW TO USE THE FOOTSWITCH Using the optional footswitch such as FS-5U, the MPD-4 can select two different sounds. There are two modes for using the footswitch; Hi-hat Pedal mode and Shift mode. a. Sound setting when using a Footswitch When a footswitch is used, two different sounds can be set; one can be set by hitting the pad without pressing the footswitch, and another one can be set by hitting the pad while holding the footswitch down. The sound set by holding the footswitch down can be played by hitting the pedal while holding the footswitch down, and vice versa. e.g.) Snare Drum sound Hi Tom sound 16 * To set the two sounds on the device connected to the MIDI IN, press the relevant instrument key or key on the keyboard instead of hitting the pad. In this case, be sure to hold the footswitch down until the instrument key or the key on the keyboard is released. Otherwise, the set sound will be the one without pressing the footswitch. b. Hi-hat Pedal Mode QSet the Mode Switch 2 to ON. ^ ON (lower) In this mode, the moment the footswitch is pressed, the sound which has been set by holding the footswitch down is played. (Naturally, the same sound will be played by holding the footswitch down.) * The initial volume of the sound obtained the moment the footswitch is pressed is always the same. If it is too high or low, adjust it on the sound source. Set Open Hi-hat without pressing the footswitch, and set Closed Hi-hat while holding the footswitch down, and you can use the footswitch just like the hi-hat pedal of a drum kit. e.g.) Open Hi-hat sound the pedal down) It may also be interesting to set Bass drum by pressing the footswitch. c. Shift Mode 0Set the Mode Switch 2 to OFF. f OFF (upper) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 The moment the footswitch is pushed, no sound is played. (Sound is obtained by hitting the pad while holding the footswitch down.) e.g.) High Cowbell sound Low Cowbell sound pressing the pedal) the pedal down) 5. EXTERNAL PADS Up to three external pads can be used together with the MPD-4. Ideal external pads for the MPD-4 are Pad Controllers BP-1's (optional). Other can also be used, but the dynamics of the pads may not be optimum.

For Sound Set, simply hit the pad on which you wish to set sounds first, then take the sound setting procedure. To set the sound to be played by hitting the pad while holding the footswitch down, hit the relevant pad while holding the footswitch down first, then go to the sound setting procedure. 18 BP-1 BP-1 * For setting a sound on the external pad while holding the footswitch down, or playing the sound of the external pad by pressing the footswitch, first set the MPD-4 to the Shift Mode ( = set the Mode Switch 2 OFF). In the Hi-hat Pedal mode, the above sound setting cannot be done. With three external pads and a footswitch simultaneously used, the following performance can be achieved. 19 * At the MPD-4 power-up, the pad of the MPD-4 and the external pads default to the preset sounds (key numbers). When using the TR-707 or the TR-505 as a sound source, each pad is set as follows. Preset Note Numbers Footswitch Pad Not pressed Pressed MPD-4 Open hi-hat (Note Number 46) Closed hi-hat (Note Number 42) External 1 Snare Drum (Note Number 38) High Tom (Note Number 48) External 2 Hand Clap (Note Number 39) Mid Tom (Note Number 45) External 3 Ride Cymbal (Note Number 51) Low Tom (Note Number 41 ) 20 6. INSTALLING THE TOM STAND Using the Pad Holder BPH-2 (optional), the MPD-4 and the external pads can be installed on the Tom Stand. 7. OTHER USEFUL FUNCTIONS When the Mode Switch 1 is set to ON, the messages fed into the MIDI IN are mixed with the messages created in the MPD-4, and the mixed messages are sent through the MIDI OUT. This mode is effective when using two sets of the MPD-4's. * In any other situation, be sure to set the Mode Switch 1 to OFF. * Please move the position of the Mode Switch 1 to ON to OFF while the MIDI sound module connected to the MPD-4 is not sounding. /~\ i—i X—-i, ¡1-—i, HBdssI MPD-4 MPD-4 2 i S! BATTERY REPLACEMENT The battery lasts around two hours. This varies depending on how you use the unit or what kind of battery is used. When the Power Indicator lights dimly or the operation of the MPD-4 gets unstable, replace the battery with a new one. ■ How to replace the battery Use one 9V battery. ©Remove the cover from the bottom of the unit. ©Take out the exhausted battery from the...
