Preset Notes

Linked Presets (lnk:)
Links are provided for the general MIDI percussion below B0 and above F3,
and for all the GM, cymbals, hats and toms.
NOTE: Toms 1, 2 and 3 links have all the toms per kit per octave. You'll
need to use transpose in the link to find the ones you want for your preset
by dialing up or down in increments of 12.
Default and Template Presets (zzz:)
• The most common default is 127-3. It makes use of factory envelopes.
• A completely blank default is 126-3.
• A default set to make use of time base envelopes instead of factory enve-
lopes is offered at 125-3.
• An expressive default is offered at 106-3 that allows all the E-H knobs to
work better while still using factory envelops.
• 119-3 provides a template for creating stereo-sounding drums. Just layer
the same sounds on 1 and 3 (hatless kits) and the hats on 2 and 4 (in
multiple trigger mode) and voila!
• 123-3 offers a 4 Layer template for creating your own velocity switched
kit. Just change the instruments and mess with the velocity ranges. An
example is included. If three layers are all you want to use, set the fourth
to none and adjust switch points. Same if only two layers are desired.

Retrigger/Strip

• Preset 077-0 Repeater 13 - This preset has retrigger assigned to M
(mod wheel). It turns it off/on and changes speed for jungle mania.
• Preset 111-0 kit:Strip Repeat- This preset uses the touch strip to retrig-
ger drums. Use Touchstrip hold to lock on or off.

Up Layer

A new feature allows new sounds to play when the note is released (See Key-
up Layer on page 215). Some presets with Up in their names make use of this
feature. Example:115-0 kit:Echo Up Up. Hold it down for normal play,
release for echo.

Play Through

A special instrument 779 rom:Play Through, has been created that plays
through all of memory. One example of its use is in preset 32:janzJoint*E1.
If you hold E1 and turn Mod wheel (M) the sample start will change.
Holding the touch strip or locking it on then moving it will do the same.
