(3) Use the [Percussion≈MUTE] field to suppress (or

add) the percussion sounds.

(4) Press the [Back≈to≈Palette] field to return to

the Palette page.
If necessary, press the [SAVE] field to save your
settings.

If the uppermost field to the right of the Tone/
Drum Set field reads [Drum≈Set≈Finder], you
have selected a Drum Set page.

In that case, pressing the [Drum≈Instrument]
field takes you to the following page where you
can make more refined changes for certain
instruments of the selected Drum Set:

The eligible instruments and corresponding
note numbers are:
C#2/37 Side Stick

D2/38 Snare 1,

E2/40 Snare 2

F2/41 Low Tom 2,

E3/52 Chinese Cymbal G#3/56 Cowbell,
A3/57 Crash Cymbal 2 F4/65 High Timbale.

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

(1) Use the [ø] [˚] fields to select the drum instru-

ment you want to edit.

(2) Press the [MUTE] field to switch the instru-

ment in question on/off.

(3) To select a different sound:

• Press the [Drum≈Instr≈Finder] field.

• Press [Family] and select an instrument family

(snare drums, cymbals, etc.).

• Press the [Instrum] field, and use the [ø] [˚] and

big fields to make your selection.

Note: Please be aware that you can only select sounds
from the currently active Drum Set.

• Press [Back≈to≈DrumInst] to return to the Drum

Instrument page.

(4) Use the [PREV] and [NEXT] buttons to select

the remaining parameters, and set the desired
values with the [VALUE] dial.
Parameter fields can also be selected by press-
ing them.

■ Volume: Use this parameter to set the volume of
the selected drum instrument.
■ PanPot: Use this parameter to set the stereo
placement of the selected drum instrument. “0”
means “no change”, negative values shift the instru-
ment towards the left, and positive values shift it
towards the right.
■ Pitch: Use this parameter to tune the selected
drum instrument higher or lower. The main reason
for doing so would be to create a “special effect” or
to make a snare sound, etc., slightly snappier. “0”
means that the pitch is left unchanged.
■ Reverb & Chorus: Use these parameters to set the
Reverb or Chorus send level. The effects themselves
can be edited via the Common page (see below).
■ Velocity: This parameter allows you to modify the
velocity range of the drum instrument in question.
“0” means that the recorded values are left
untouched, a negative setting reduces all velocity
values by the same amount (leaving variations
intact), while a positive setting shifts all velocity
values in a positive direction.

(5) Press the [Back≈to≈Palette] field to return to

the Palette page.
If necessary, press the [SAVE] field to save your
settings.
