Chapter 6. Editing a Song

Preventing the Drum Kit
from Being Changed
Normally, when the pattern changes while playing a song,
the drum kit will also switch to the drum kit that was used
when recording that pattern. However, if you switch off the
"Drum Kit Change" setting, the drum kit that was selected
when the song was started will play all the way to the end of
the song.

The DR-770 is now in Song mode.
2. Use [VALUE*] to select the song whose Drum Kit
Change setting you want to modify.
3. Press [REC].
The REC indicator will light, and the Drum Kit Change
setting ("KIT") will appear.
