Selecting the drum kit

The 2488’s tone generator includes a number of dif-
ferent drum kits, which you can use to give a differ-
ent sound to your songs.

When a preset style is loaded, a suitable drum kit is
also loaded along with the pattern type. The same
drum kit is retained for the whole song.

With the

PATTERN ARRANGE

screen displayed, press

SHIFT

and

ENTER

.

Twenty different kits are available for use, including
Latin sets, famous drum machine sounds, and so on.

Use the cursor keys or wheel to select a different
drum kit for your song. Press

ENTER

when done (or

MTC, MIDI clock, etc.

The 2488 can synchronize to external MIDI Time
Code (MTC) or can generate MTC in order to syn-
chronize other MIDI devices.

Other devices may be sequencers or DAWs which are
enabled for MTC.

In addition it is capable of generating MIDI Clock
commands which are typically used by drum and
rhythm machines, as well as by some sequencers.
