Roland SC-88 Pro - Manual (Page 44)

■ Creating a Drum Set (Drum Edit)
A Drum Part has assigned to it a group of various percussion instrument sounds
which are called a Drum Set. Unlike a Normal Part, a Drum Part sounds a different
instrument for each note number. Since a Drum Part needs to simultaneously produce a
wide variety of sounds such as bass drum, snare, tom and cymbal, this is very conve-
nient. A collection of such sounds each assigned to their own note number is called a
Drum Set. Each sound within a Drum Set is called an Drum Instrument. (Drum Set list
p.163)
On this unit, you can modify various drum instrument parameters to get the drum
sounds most suitable for your musical needs. A “parameter” is something that affects
the sound. The process of modifying parameter values is called “editing.”
For each instrument (Drum Instrument) of the currently selected Drum Set, you can
modify the values for the following parameters. These parameter values are set inde-
pendently for each Drum Instrument assigned to a note number.
Volume, Pan (stereo position), Pitch, Reverb send level, Chorus send level, Delay
send level, Assign group.
* Drum Sets you create can be stored in internal memory. (p.102)
* Settings between the Normal Part and the Drum Part are made in Part mode. (p.27)
