Which key plays which pad is drawn on a keyboard chart ('Emax keyboard to SP-1200 play buttons', p. 57) that is not readable as text, so no per-pad trigger is listed. Receive channel and Omni/Poly are set in SET-UP 22. Sending a sound to the SP-1200 (dump header then 120-byte packets of 12-bit words, checksum = XOR) is not exposed: it needs the whole sample. No Control Change, Program Change, pitch bend or aftertouch. Untested on hardware.",
