The first MlDI-compatible pad controller, the PAD-8 offers the drummer or
percussionist the ability to completely control MIDI equipment. Now the
drummers and percussionists can expand their capabilities by utilizing any
possible sound the MIDI synthesizer or drum machine produces.

The PAD-8 features eight touch-sensitive pads. The pads are comfortably
elastic in order to give the player a natural feel. Each pad can be
independently assigned to the MIDI note number (O to 127) and MIDI
channel (1 to 16) so that any sound source-drum sounds from a MIDI drum
machine or the notes from a MIDI synthesizer-can be activated by hitting a
pad. In addition, three other programmable parameters -Curve, Minimum
Velocity, and Gate Time are provided for each pad. These parameters are
adjusted to player's taste while hearing the actual sound. Four different pad
setting combinations can be stored in the PAD-8's memory as Patch Presets
and recalled instantly. The stored data can be easily modified afterwards.

Up to six external pads can be connected and programmed. The PAD-8 can
also send MIDI program change messages (O to 127) to a connected MIDI
device.
