P
ARTS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
1. Trigger pads
These pads can transmit note messages or control change
messages.
2. Transport buttons
There are six transport buttons: LOOP, REW, FF, STOP, PLAY and
REC. These buttons transmit control change messages or MMC
(MIDI Machine Control) messages.
3. Assignable buttons
These two buttons can be used as MIDI CC switches.
4. Bank button
Use this button to switch between the four banks. A "bank" is a set
of parameter assignments for the controllers (pads and knobs, etc.)
so that the controllers can be used to operate your DAW or soft-
ware synthesizer. The TINYPADL has four banks. The four banks
are collectively called a "bank set". You can use included the soft-
ware to change the assignment of each controller (See "Making
detailed settings").
5. Bank LEDs
The LED of the selected bank will light up.
6. USB connector
Connect the TINYPAD to your computer with a USB cable via this
port.
7. Settled controller
The unique slider on TINYPAD is only for adjusting the master
volume. It cannot be edited.

AKING DETAILED SETTINGS
The following settings cannot be edited from the TINYPAD itself, so
you will need to use the included software.
Global
Global MIDI channel [1...16]
Specifies which MIDI channel the TINYPAD will use to transmit note
messages, pitch bend messages, as well as MIDI messages that
are sent when you press the button.
This should be set to match the MIDI channel of the MIDI applica-
tion that you are controlling.
Transport MIDI channel [1...16/Scene MIDI Channel]
Specifies the MIDI channel on which MIDI messages will be trans-
mitted when you operate the transport buttons.
Set this to match the MIDI channel of the MIDI application you are
controlling.
If you set this to "Scene MIDI Channel", the message will be trans-
mitted on the Scene MIDI Channel.
Trigger pads
Depending on the assign type, the trigger pads can transmit note
messages or control change messages. For each trigger pad, you
can individually specify the assigned message, the MIDI transmit
channel, the behavior of the trigger pad, the note number, the
control change number and the values transmitted when the pad
turns on or off.
Depending on its assign type, note number or control change num-
ber can be assign to a single trigger pad and transmitted.
If you transmit note messages or control change messages from a
trigger pad, all of the messages will be transmitted at the velocity or
On Value/Off Value.
