sets the drum key's basic level and panning. The velocity

• Output—The Output parameters determine where a drum
key's sound goes: to effects or directly to selected physical
outputs. You can also set how much of a drum key is to
be sent to the desired effects. See Page 95 in the Owner's
Manual.
You can edit a drum key graphically using Zoom Editing. See the Workshop
series booklet The Sounds of the Fantom-X for more information on Zoom
Editing.
Initializing a Drum Key
Before editing a drum key, you may find it handy to initialize it,
which resets all its parameters to their default settings. From
the Rhythm Edit screen:
1. Select the desired drum key.
2. Press F4 (Init) to display the Rhythm Initialize screen.
3. Use 5 or 6 to select Key.
4. Press F8 (Select).
5. Press F8 (Exec) to initialize the drum key.
If you'd like to create a rhythm set from scratch, select "All" in Step 3—this
initializes all of the rhythm set's drum keys.
Copying a Drum Key
If you'd like to copy the settings of one drum key to another
within the same rhythm set—or the settings of a drum key
from another rhythm set—use the Tone Copy feature. On the
main rhythm editing screen, press F5 (Tone Copy) to display
the Rhythm Tone Copy window in which you can select the
drum key you want to copy (the Source rhythm set and drum
key number) and where you want to copy it (the Destination
drum key number).
