Chapter 8. Creating an Original Drum Kit

You can modify various settings for a drum kit and create up
to 64 of your own original drum kits (user drum kits).
You can use the pads of pad banks A and B to select
instruments assigned to pad numbers 01 (A01)–32
(B16), and then modify the settings of each instrument.
It is also possible to modify the settings of the
instruments that are assigned to pad numbers 33 (-01)–
55 (-23) and therefore cannot be played from the pads.
Selecting a Drum Kit from
Which to Start
First, select the drum kit whose settings you wish to modify.
NOTE
For the preset drum kits (1–64), settings other than the drum kit
name (p.77) can be modified temporarily, but they will return to
their original settings when you select another drum kit.
1. Press [DRUM KIT] to make "DRUM KIT" blink.
