This mark will disappear after the Store Operation (P. 23)
is carried out to save data in the DTXPLORER’s memory.
If a different drum kit is selected, etc., before carrying out
the Store Operation, the current settings will return to their
original condition. If you want to keep changes made to

signed to the voice name and no sound will be produced.

Now you’ve selected the drum voice that will be used as
the base for your original drum voice.

Next, let’s edit this drum voice and create an original
bass drum voice.

3. Change the Volume

Try changing the volume that is produced by the drum voice
when the pad is hit. Use the volume setting to adjust the vol-
ume balance between other pad voices.

Use the [>] button to view page KIT3, then rotate the jog dial
to set the volume (0 to 127).

Try changing the drum voice’s tuning (pitch).

Use the [>] button to view page KIT 4, then rotate the jog dial
to set the tuning.
The tuning can be set anywhere between –24.0 to +24.0 cents
in increments of 10 cents.

5. Change the Pan

Try changing the drum voice’s pan setting (the voice’s posi-
tion within the stereo field).

Use the [>] button to view page KIT5, then rotate the jog dial
to set the voice’s pan.
The range is from “L64” (hard left) to “C” (center) to “R63”
(hard right). As you rotate the dial, you should notice the voice
change its position within the stereo field according to the set-
ting.
