3 pads won't lightup ..

[Apesma]

Both octave pads and the minor pad will not light up....is that normal, or is it defective out of the box? Thanks

Great question, my unit is the same.

the octave pads  + -  only light up when you go up and down an octave  they flash faster the higher or lower you go
when they are both out your back at a central position

as for the Minor pad not lighting up.  the top row of pads represent  black keys , so that's why  IE  2 black keys  (gap) then 3 black keys

so no there is not a fault, this is how it is supposed to look
