FXpansion Japanese Taiko Percussion - Manual (Page 9)

Important : We recommend loading one of the BFD2 presets included with JTP. This will allow you to
load the taiko pack properly in one step. The presets contain all the kit pieces, the key map, the mixer, and
the default palette (containing multiple grooves and their keyboard assignments) needed to start using
JTP
.
4. Loading Japanese Taiko Percussion (JTP)
Open the Preset kit chooser from Load BFD2 Preset
under the Load menu. Select either “JTP Taiko” or “JTP
Taiko Low Tuning.” Check the Drum kit, Mixer,
Grooves, and Keymap checkboxes beside “From the
program I want to load…” Leave the Automap checkbox
unchecked. Click the Load button.
There are two preset kits available:
JTP Taiko: provides the most natural reproduction of the
expansion library’s sounds
JTP Taiko Low Tuning: provides lower tunings for Ohdaiko, Chudaiko, Shimedaiko1, and
Shimedaiko2
You can switch the default palette and grooves by first clearing the palette. The expansion pack comes
with four palettes (containing a total of 60 grooves). Grooves for Japanese Taiko Percussion offers an
additional 970 grooves. See “GROOVES for JTP manual.pdf” for the installation instructions.
*Grooves for Japanese Taiko Percussion is bundled with the DVD version. Users of the JTP
download version can purchase Grooves for Japanese Taiko Percussion from the FXpansion website
(
