The current MACHINE in use will determine which SYNTH parameters will be available for Sound modulation.
Quickly press the first [PARAMETER] key, SYNTH, twice to open a menu for MACHINE selection.
Browse through the MACHINE list using the [ARROW] keys [UP] and [DOWN]. Sample the MACHINE currently
outlined by tapping the pad of the active track. Select the outlined MACHINE by pressing [YES/SAVE]. Exit with-
out switching MACHINE by pressing [NO/RELOAD].
Edit a track Sound by adjusting the parameters found on the PARAMETER pages. Access these pages by
pressing one of the five [PARAMETER] page keys. Use the DATA ENTRY knobs A-H to change the parame-
ters. For a complete description of the functions of the parameters, please see “Appendix A: DRUM TRACK
PARAMETERS“.
SYNTH controls the analog drum synthesis parameters of the MACHINE selected.
SAMPLE controls the sample selection and settings.
FILTER controls the filter mode, cutoff frequency and envelope.
AMP controls the amplitude parameters, effect sends and levels.
LFO controls parameters for the LFO of the active track.
When you want to save a particular Sound with all its current parameter settings, use the quick command [YES/
SAVE] + [MUTE]. Toggle destination, Sound Pool or +Drive, by accessing the left-hand menu, [ARROW] key
[LEFT], then press [YES/SAVE]. Select which slot to save to using the [ARROW] keys [UP] and [DOWN], or
the LEVEL knob, and press [YES/SAVE]. If you select a non-empty slot, the current Sound will overwrite the
Sound previously saved to the slot. Name the Sound (see “THE NAMING SCREEN” on page 10) and select a
suitable tag, or several tags (KICK, SNARE, RIMSHOT et cetera), using the [ARROW] keys + [YES/SAVE].
The complete Sound, comprised of all its parameter settings, may be copied to another track by first pressing
[TRACK] + [RECORD], then selecting the track you want to copy the Sound to using [TRACK] + one of the
[PADS], and finally pasting by pressing [TRACK] + [STOP]. Note that the Sound can only be pasted to a track
that is compatible with the Sound (see illustration on page 13).

Any of the 127 user samples may be assigned to a Sound on any of the drum tracks. The user samples can be
replaced, relocated and otherwise managed in the SAMPLES manager found in the GLOBAL MENU. See sec-
tion “GLOBAL MENU” on page 48. Select the active drum track by pressing [TRACK] + one of the [PADS].
Open the SAMPLE parameter page by pressing the second [PARAMETER] key, SAMPLE.
