Yes, the pads respond to how hard you tap them.
Yes, you can "play" the '660.

There aren't many built-in 'ethnic' voices, but a little tweaking in the
editing department can deliver a host of crazy sounds. Editing features
include:- Level / Pitch (huge range) / Decay / Nuance (tone) / Pan /
Polyphonic, or Mono / Sensitivity Curve (for Pads.)
Oh, and by the way, all of the TR-808 / TR-909 sounds were thrown in by
Roland for good measure (without the price tag!)
