7. Change the Click Voice
When the click voice resembles voices that are found in the
song it might be hard to hear. In this case it is a good idea to
change the click voice.
• We will use the factory set 4-beat click voice (a high
and low bell voice) as an example here.
Change voice that is heard on the first beat.
Slowly press the [UTIL] button three times and the following
display will appear.

ing cursor to the Click Voice Type position, then use the
[VALUE–]/[VALUE+] buttons to assign the "hi" click
voice (the click voice heard on the first beat).
7-2. Next, use the [SEL<]/[SEL>] buttons to move the flash-
ing cursor to the Voice Category position, then use the
[VALUE–]/[VALUE+] buttons to assign the Drum Voice
Category that will be used for the Click Voice.

Press the [CLICK] button to start the metronome and the
marimba voice will be delivered instead of the previously
assigned voice.
The same procedure can be used to change the other click
voices ("mid", "lo") to a voice you prefer.
Press the [PLAY] button to return to the original display
(Drum Kit & Song setting display).
When you want to use a different drum kit with a particular
song, change only the drum kit number using the Drum Kit &
Song setting display.

Normally, when the song is switched the drum kit will be au-
tomatically switched to the kit that is set in the song. However,
if the Rhythm Mute Function ([SHIFT]+[PAGEs]) is used,
the drum kit will not change when the song is switched.
* Also, in the Utility mode's [2-2. Channel 10 Program Change/
Receive Channel Event] (P. 54) set the Channel 10 Pro-
gram Change to not receive program changes and then only
the song will change.
You can mute individual drums like the [Bass Drum], [Snare
Drum], [Cymbal], [Other Drum Instruments].
This function is convenient when you want to practice indi-
vidual drum parts.
In the Drum Kit & Song setting display, press the [PAGEt]
