Roland OCTAPAD SPD-20 PRO Manuel Du Propriétaire page 15

Layer type
The OCTAPAD lets you play two instruments (Inst Main and Inst Sub) layered on one pad. You can also switch between two instruments or vary
their balance according to your playing dynamics.

dynamics
Volume
Inst Main and Inst Sub are layered and played simultaneously.
Playing
dynamics
Volume
Inst Sub is heard only for a pad strike that is stronger than the value
(velocity value) specified by Fade Point.
Playing
dynamics
Volume
For pad strikes that are stronger than the Fade Point, the Inst Sub is layered in
addition to the Inst Main sound.
Playing
dynamics
Volume
The Inst Main sound is heard for pad strikes that are weaker than the Fade Point,
and the sound switches to Inst Sub for pad strikes that are stronger.
Playing
dynamics
Volume
This is essentially the same as FADE2, with the difference that pad strikes that are
stronger than the Fade Point decrease the volume of the Inst Main sound.
