• VGROUP (Voice group)

This setting determines the type of action when
the same pad is hit in succession (PL/MN), and
the group to which the pad belongs (0 - 7). The
setting range is PL0 - PL7 and MN0 - MN7.

If you select PL for a pad, the previous sound
of the pad will keep playing in addition to the
new sound when you hit the pad in succession.
If you select MN for a pad, the previous sound
of the pad will stop, and only the new sound is
heard when you hit the pad in succession.

The numeric settings 0 - 7 determine the group
of a pad (0: no group, 1 - 7: group 1 - 7). The
sounds of pads that are in the same group will
not be produced together. By assigning the
pads for open hi-hat and closed hi-hat to the
same group, the open hi-hat sound will be
suppressed when you activate the closed hi-hat
sound, resulting in a natural effect.
The group number 0 - 7 applies both to PL and
MN. Therefore pads PL1 and MN1 will not
produce sound together.

• SENDLVL (Send level)

Sets the signal level to be supplied to the
REVERB effect. The setting range is 0 - 100.
This setting is made separately for each pad
and is independent of the overall drum kit send
level setting (

p. 56) made in effect mode.

To control effect intensity for each pad
individually, it may be best to set the effect
mode send level to 0 and adjust the SENDLVL
parameter for the pads.

NOTE

If the KICKDRY parameter in the patch
currently selected for the REVERB effect is
ON, changing the send level of a pad to

which the kick drum sound is assigned
(pad 0 of pad bank 1/2) has no effect. To
turn the KICKDRY parameter on and off,
follow the steps described in the section
"Editing effect patches".

• KITNAME (Drum kit name)

Lets you change the name of the drum kit (

p.

53).

6.

Use the VALUE [+]/[-] keys to adjust

the value.

7.

Repeat steps 4 - 6 for the other

pads.

8.

When the setting is complete, press

the [EXIT] key.

The settings are automatically saved, and the
drum kit select screen appears again. To return to
pattern mode, press the [PATTERN] key.
