DRUM TYPE PATTERNS

Drum type patterns are well suited for programming percussion sequences.
pattern has eight individual drum instruments that can be programmed, allowing a
complete drum sequence to be created using a single track.

SELECTING DRUM INSTRUMENTS

When editing a drum pattern, you can select which drum instrument is currently displayed
on the step LEDs by holding the TRANSPOSE/DRUM SELECT button to the left of the mini
keyboard and then selecting the drum instrument using the white buttons of the mini
keyboard. They are labeled as EXT for external, BD for bass drum, SD for snare drum, LT
for low tom, HT for high tom, CY for cymbal, OH for open hihat and CH for closed hihat.
TIP: While holding the DRUM SELECT button, the track LEDs flicker
briefly each time a drum instrument is played. This gives a good
visual indicator of what instruments are playing. Muted
instruments will not flicker.
TIP: When the sequencer is not playing, the drum instrument will be
played as it is selected. This makes it easier to preview the drum
sound.
