VA-76 – Editing User Styles

If you select the ADrums track, the display looks
slightly different:

That is because you can only assign Drum Sets to the
ADrums track.

3. Select the division whose settings you wish to
change, and possibly also all clones (see page 165).

4. Press the [MERGE] field in the bottom row. (Let us
assume that your part already contains data.)

5. Select the new Tone (or Drum Set) to be assigned to
the currently selected track and division by pressing
the [Current Tone]/[Current Drum Set] field and
using either the [TEMPO/DATA] dial or the BANK/
NUMBER buttons.

6. Press the [REC] field (see the circle in the above
illustration) so that it is displayed in white.
Depending on the selected track (ADrums or another
one), this field is located in a different place. It does
have the same function, though.

7. Press the [REC ] field.

8. Press [START/STOP] to start recording.

9. Press [START/STOP] again after the first or second
beat (but wait until the one-bar count-in is finished).
This completes Tone selection. The new Tone address
(Group, Bank, Number, Variation) automatically
replaces the old one.

Though you can use different Tones for every division
of a User Style, beware of too much “artistic license”.
Using another Acc track for additional parts (if still
available) will avoid a lot of confusion.

Drum Set Note & Pitch— After selecting the ADrums
track, you can modify the pitch of certain sounds of
the selected Drum Set. The eligible sounds and corre-
sponding note numbers are:

Note: The names of the drum/percussion sounds depend on
the currently selected Drum Set. The sounds are usually
similar in nature, however.

1. On the above display page, select the ADrums
track.

2. Select the division whose settings you wish to
change, and possibly also all clones (see page 165).

3. Press the [MERGE] field in the bottom row.

4. Press the [Drum Set Note] field and select the drum
sound whose pitch you wish to change with the
[TEMPO/DATA] dial.

5. Press the [Pitch] field and use the [TEMPO/DATA]
dial to set the desired pitch (–64~+63).
You can play on the keyboard to listen to the result.

6. Press the [REC] field below [Pitch].

7. Press the [REC ] field.

8. Press [START/STOP] to start recording.

9. Press [START/STOP] again after the first or second
beat (but wait until the one-bar count-in is finished).
Expression, Panpot, Reverb, Chorus—
Setting or
modifying the Expression, Panpot, Reverb (Send), and
Chorus (Send) parameters is similar to selecting
another Tone for existing tracks.
