Editing a Drum Kit

Parameter

Screen

Explanation

PAD COMP

Adjusts the dynamics of each pad (pad compressor).

OVERHEAD

Adjusts the sound of the overhead mics that capture the entire

drum kit.

ROOM

Simulates the reverberation and resonance of the location in

which you’re playing the drums.
You can obtain a more natural and present drum sound by

adjusting the type of room and its size (room ambience), and

the reverberation (reverb).

MFX

You can choose up to three effects from 30 types, and apply

these effects to the drum kit.

MEMO

To switch the type of MFX, move the cursor to the location

shown in the illustration, and turn the dial.

MASTER COMP *1

Adjusts the overall dynamics of the drum kit.
Make settings for the stereo compressor/limiter (master comp)

that is applied on the final stage of the master output.

MASTER EQ

Adjust the tonal character of the entire drum kit by boosting or

cutting each of four bands (LOW, MID1, MID2, HIGH). You can

also use this to compensate the tonal character when using

master comp.

*1: Using the master comp

When used as a compressor, this allows you to raise the overall loudness of the drums by compressing brief peaks in the

sound. This lets the sound project better, without being buried in the mix by the other instruments.

When used as a comp-limiter, this lets you increase the recording level while limiting the maximum input to the recording

device.

If you’re using a small monitor amp, you can use this effect as a limiter so that the peaks of the drum sound are limited,

making the sound less likely to distort.
