Instruções de operação

Pads de desempenho

The Orca Pad-16 features 16 high-quality, velocity and pressure-sensitive pads with RGB backlighting. These pads can be used for triggering samples, playing drums, or launching clips in your DAW.

• Sensibilidade à velocidade: The harder you strike a pad, the louder the sound or the higher the velocity value transmitted.
• Pressure Sensitivity (Aftertouch): After striking a pad, applying continuous pressure can control parameters like vibrato, filter cutoff, or volume, depending on your software's mapping.
• Retroiluminação RGB: The pads illuminate with various colors, often indicating their status (e.g., armed, playing, stopped) or assigned MIDI notes/channels.

Assignable Rotary Knobs

There are 18 assignable rotary knobs (three rows of six) that can be used to control various parameters in your software, such as volume, pan, filter cutoff, or effect sends. Each knob can be user-modified via the software editor.

• Rotate the knobs clockwise to increase a parameter's value and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
• Consulte as instruções de mapeamento MIDI da sua DAW para atribuir esses botões a funções específicas.

Botões de função

The 6 function buttons allow for quick access to common features:

• Program Select: Used to cycle through different program presets.
• Repetição da nota: Automatically repeats a triggered note at a specified rate.
• Nível completo: Ensures all triggered notes play at maximum velocity, regardless of how hard the pad is struck.
• Note Repeat Configuration: Adjusts parameters for the Note Repeat function.
• CTRL BANK: Switches between control banks for the rotary knobs.
