OCTAPAD PAD-8 MIDI PAD CONTROLLER


The Octapad PAD-8 is a dynamics-responsive MIDI pad controller which allows drummers and percussionists to play the 15 percussion sounds of the TR-727 by hitting eight touch-sensitive pads—the most natural way to play percussion. The PAD-8 can also be used to control any other MIDI sound-producing unit.


The PAD-8 is dynamics-responsive so that the player can express any delicate nuance.


Its eight pads can be independently assigned to any percussion sound of the TR-727. The PAD-8 can memorize four different combinations of pads and sound sources.


The stored combinations can be instantly recalled at any time so that you can change your own unique percussion set-up at will.


In addition, several parameters, such as the sensitivity and volume change curve of the pad, can be set for each pad so that the PAD-8 can accommodate the unique characteristics of the sound source it is connected with.
