Drum parameter editing

What is a drum kit?
A drum kit is a set of sixteen individual sounds such as
bass drum or cymbal, each assigned to a different note of
the keyboard.
The RADIAS contains thirty-two of these drum kits.
What is a drum instrument?
Each of the sounds (e.g., bass drum or cymbal) making up
a drum kit is called a "drum instrument." A drum kit con-
tains sixteen drum instruments. A drum instrument has
essentially the same structure as the timbre of a program
(with the exception of insert effects and modulation se-
quencers). As with a program, you can make detailed
changes to the sound by editing parameters from oscilla-
tors to virtual patch settings.
