You can hook up a MIDI keyboard and play an entirely different sound set (on a different MIDI channel - for example, you can have a drum set assigned to the pads on channel 10, then plug in a keyboard and play a grand piano sound simultaneously on channel 1). You can hook up a trigger-to-midi controller and play additional sounds per kit (i.e., sounds that aren't assigned directly to pads). Because Yamaha gives you full control over the MIDI layer, you have capabilities not even conceivable on other multi-pads. This is the first multi-pad with features comparable to a full e-kit module. Now that that's over with - this is by far the most powerful drum multi-pad available. A 2-line display is not enough to reveal the power that this machine has. Let me start by saying that, yes, the menu system is awful.
