1C BACKGROUND: THE PERFORMANCE MODULE
This module is where you select drum sounds, tuning, drum mix, and so on.
All of these adjustments reset to their default values when the SP-12 is turned
off. However, eight different drum mixes may be stored in memory and
recalled when creating a song.
1D SELECTING DRUM SOUNDS
The row of eight large buttons (Drum Play buttons) along the bottom of the SP-12
play the different drum sounds.
The SELECT button (left of Play buttons) chooses between four different banks of
drum sounds. Bank ii consists of sampled drum sounds; these come loaded with
factory sounds, but you can also sample your own sounds.
To audition the drums, select a bank with the SELECT switch, and then play the Play
Buttons. Listen to all four banks to familiarize yourself with the available sounds.
