OVERVIEW OF THE CONTROLS
Now that we have introduced you to the infrastructure of the XR20, let’s dive in and take a closer look at
some of the controls.
GENERAL CONTROLS:
1. LCD – The display helps you keep track of system parameters and settings as you use the XR20.
2. PADS – The 12 pads are used to trigger sounds on the XR20. The pads can address 3 different
types of sounds: drums, 1 shot and synth. To select which sounds are controlled by the pads,
press one of the three Pad Play buttons (DRUM, 1SHOT, SYNTH). In addition, the pads can be
used to trigger entire Patterns while in Pattern Play Mode.
3. PAD PLAY BUTTONS – These 3 buttons select which sounds are triggered when you hit the
pads. Press the corresponding button to control the following sounds with the pads:
SYNTH – Selects the Synth sounds associated with the current Drum Set. In addition, you can
hold down this button and use the INC / DEC buttons or the DATA dial to transpose the synth
sounds up or down an octave.
DRUMS – Selects the Drum sounds associated with the current Drum Set.
1SHOT – Selects the 1 Shot sounds associated with the current Drum Set.
4. NOTE REPEAT – While programming Patterns, hold down this button and press a pad to create a
roll. The roll will last for as long as the pad is being held down. This lets you play a series of drum
hits without having to repeatedly press the pads, and is typically used to create steady 16th note
hi-hat parts, quarter note kick drum parts, snare rolls, etc. The timing of the roll is specified by the
Quantization and Swing settings in the Record Setup menu.
