Playing & stopping PADS

[blkbltstd]

I like to play more than one PAD at a time, then stop one or more PADS during a performance but continue to play one or more of the PADS.

For example, PADS 1&2 are playing. I want PAD 1 to continue but I want to stop PAD 2 from playing. Page 48 of the Manual says "Keeping stop pressed and pressing one of the PAD buttons only stops that pad or button".

Here's my problem: the millisecond I press STOP, ALL PADS stop playing. If I press PAD I first & then press STOP, as soon as I press STOP, ALL PADS stop playing. If I press stop first then press the PAD I want to stop, again, as soon as I press the stop button--anytime--ALL PADS stop playing.

I would like to know if this is a problem with MY kbd or if I am missing something. I am still under warranty but don't want to have to send my kbd off somewhere!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope I'm missing something!

Hi blkbltstd

It is exactly as the manual says - I use this often.

Press and hold down the STOP PAD button and then press the pad you wish to stop - this does not affect other pads that are playing. If this does not work on your keyboard, then you may have a problem.

Cheers

Hi,
just tried it on my PA800 os2.1.
Pressed pad1, pressed pad 2, bothkeep looping. Press Stop Button & hold it down, whilst holding stop button is held down I press pad 1 & Pad 1 stops playing, whilst pad 2 continues on.

Bit of a dumb question, but, the pads you're using , are they definately looping pads or could they one shot pads?? Are they factory pads or user pads??
Some pads only play thru once wheras others loop continuously.

Rikki & Pete,

It's great to be humbled when in the end I've learned something. You guys were right. The PADS work as advertised! I simply had to HOLD the stop button longer then press the PAD I wish to stop.

Thanks again!!!!
