Background Each mode affects triggering in a different way:
Multi: When hitting a pad repeatedly, each hit will cause the sound to go through its entire decay. This is useful
with cymbals, since early strikes will continue to decay as you play later strikes.
Single: When hitting a pad repeatedly, a new hit will automatically terminate any sound that is still decaying. This is
useful with many percussion sounds (such as tambourine, agogo, etc.).
Group 1 and 2: Pads assigned to a particular group (1 or 2) will cut each other off if a group pad is struck while
another pad assigned to the same group continues to sound. The classic use of this is with hi-hats; a closed high-
hat will cut off an open hi-hat, and hitting an open hi-hat sound will cut off a closed hi-hat.
The SR-16 can play up to 16 voices at a time, so it's possible to run out of voices if you play a flurry of notes and
have lots of pads in the Multi assign mode. If 16 sounds are playing and you ask the SR-16 to play another one, the
sound that's closest to finishing its decay cycle will be "stolen" so that the most recent sound can be played. In
practice, it's difficult (and usually not artistically desirable!) to create drum parts so complex that voice-stealing
becomes a problem. However, if this is a problem, try assigning all the toms to a group so that they only require one
voice at a time.

To change the output assignment:
1. Press the pad (the display will show the pad number).
2. Use the INC/DEC buttons or number buttons (1 chooses the Main output pair, 2-0 the Aux
output pair).
3. When the display confirms your choice, either store the changes you've made (see section
4.8) or do more assignments by tapping another pad then entering its new output
assignment.
Background The SR-16 includes two independent stereo output pairs (Main and Aux). You can direct any pad
to either output pair, and pan the sound within the selected output's stereo field (section 4.4). This allows several
output assignment options:
Mono: Plug into one of the output pair jacks; the SR-16 is smart enough to know that plugging in one plug means
you must want mono. Any pan settings are ignored. Do not plug into both outputs, or stereo will be activated.
