Editing a drum kit
Before editing a drum kit, uncheck the Memory Pro-
tect (
☞p.57).
1 In Prgoram P0: Play, select the program that you wish
to use while editing the drum kit.
Select a drum kit program from the preload programs
etc. If the drum kit that you will be editing is already
being used by a program, select that program. (In the
separate “VNL,” programs that use a drum kit are
marked by a
symbol.)
Set “Octave” (Program P1: Edit-Basic, OSC Basic
page) to +0 [8']. With a setting other than +0 [8'], the
relationship between the keys and the sounds will be
incorrect.
The effects will sound using the settings of the last-
selected program.
When you edit a drum kit, all programs that use that
drum kit will be affected.
2 Access the Sample Setup page of Global P5: Drum
Kit.
3 In “Drum Kit,” select the drum kit that you wish to
edit.
If necessary, use the page menu command “Copy
Drum Kit” to copy settings from a preload drum kit or
a GM drum kit.
GM drum kits 144 (GM) – 152 (GM) cannot be
selected here. (It is not possible to edit or write a GM
drum kit.) If you wish to modify the settings of one of
the drum kits 144 (GM) – 152 (GM), you can use
“Copy Drum Kit” to copy it to 000 (I-A/B) – 143
(User), and then edit the copy.
4 Use “Key” to select the note number that you wish to
edit.
The drum sample parameters for the selected note
number will be displayed in the High Drumsample, Low
Drumsample, and Voice/Mixer pages.
To select a note number, you can use the VALUE con-
trollers, or you can hold down the [ENTER] key and
press a note on the keyboard.
5 Use the “Assign” check box to specify whether a
drum sample will be assigned to the note number.
If this is checked, a drum sample will be assigned to
that note number. Normally you will check this.
If this is not checked, no drum sample will be assigned
to that note number. That note number will sound the
drum sample assigned at its right, but a semitone
lower. Use this setting when you want only to change
the pitch, such as with tom or cymbal sounds.
If you uncheck the “Assign” check box so that the
drum sample at the right will be played at a pitch one
semitone lower, access the Program P2: Edit-Pitch,
OSC1 Pitch Mod. page, and set “Pitch Slope” to +1.0
before you enter Global mode.
6 Use “High Drumsample Bank,” “High Drumsam-
ple,” “Low Drumsample Bank,” and “Low Drumsam-
ple” to specify the drum sample that will be assigned
to this note number.
If you have selected a Low Drumsample, use “Velocity
Sample SW Lo
→
Hi ” to specify how velocity will
switch between the High Drumsample and Low
Drumsample. (
☞7)
ROM drumsamples can be selected if “High/Low
Drumsample Bank” is set to ROM, samples you
recorded on the TRITON STUDIO or loaded in Disk
mode can be selected if you set this to RAM, and drum
samples from a EXB-PCM option (if installed) can be
selected if you set this to EXB.
Some of the EXB-PCM series options do not contain
drum samples.
About the ROM drum samples
The TRITON STUDIO contains 417 different drum sam-
ples in ROM. When you press the popup button, you will
be able to select ROM drum samples from 15 categories.
(
☞For a list of the drum sample names, refer to “VNL”)
7 Use “Velocity Sample SW Lo
→
Hi” to specify how
velocity will switch between drumsamples.
The drumsample that sounds when you perform will
depend on the velocity (keyboard playing strength) of
the incoming note. This is called velocity drumsample
switching.
If you set this to 001, only the High Drumsample will
sound.
☞ This is the same type of function as the Velocity Multi-
sample Switching in a program. (“High Multisample
and Low Multisample”
☞p.69)
8 Set the parameters of the drumsamples that you
assigned.
Set the parameters for the High Drumsample and Low
Drumsample.
You can set parameters such as volume level (“Level”),
pitch (“Transpose,” “Tune”), and tone (“Cutoff,” “Res-
onance”). (
☞For details on each parameter, refer to PG
p.148.)
9 As necessary, repeat steps 4–8 to set drumsample
parameters for each note number.
If you wish to use the settings of another “KEY,” select
the page menu command “Copy Key Setup”.
0 Select the Voice/Mixer page in Global P5: Drum Kit.
