Drum Kits

The DR-670 includes 256 internal drum sounds (instruments) and sixteen internal bass
sounds (bass tones). A “drum kit” is a single set containing 32 of these drum sounds and one
of the bass sounds.

● The DR-670 comes with 64 Preset Drum Kits (Numbers 1–64), and 64 User Drum Kits

(Numbers 65–128), whose settings you can change.

● You can modify the sound (change the volume, pitch, and other settings) of instruments

assigned to the User Drum Kits, thus enabling you to handle such sounds as new
instruments distinct from the internal instruments.

● On the DR-670 you can use only one drum kit when creating any one pattern. You cannot

use multiple drum kits simultaneously to make one pattern.

● The number of the drum kit used when creating a pattern is stored within the pattern.

As a result, during playback of patterns, a switch is made to the relevant drum kit whenever
you switch patterns.
