5: DRUM KIT

Here you can create drum kits by assigning a drum instrument
(drum sample) to each key.
A drum kit you edit here can be used in the same way as a
multisample oscillator (when Oscillator Mode is Single or
Double) and processed through the filter, amp, and effects etc. To
do this, set the Oscillator Mode to Drums in the Program mode P–
BASIC> VOICE page, and selecting the drum kit as an oscillator
in the P–OSC> Dkit page.
Getting ready to edit
• When you wish to edit a drum kit, enter Program mode, select a
program that uses a drum kit (i.e., whose Oscillator Mode is
Drums), and then move to this page. A program that uses a
drum kit will already have filter, amp, and effect settings etc.
suitable for drum sounds.
• You must set Octave (P–OSC> Dkit) to +0[8']. With any
setting other than +0[8'], the key locations and drum sounds will
not correspond correctly.
Moving to the Global DRUM KIT page
• If you moved from another program or mode, the OSC1 drum
kit that was selected most recently for the program will be
recalled.
• Even if a program with an Oscillator Mode of Single or
Double is selected in Program mode, the program will sound
using its own filter and amp settings etc.
• Effects will sound according to the settings of the program you
selected.
Editing a Drum Kit
For detailed step-by-step instructions on creating drum kits, please
see "Using Drum Kits" section on page 111 of the Operation
Guide.
If Enable Exclusive (G–MIDI> FILTER) is checked, the
drum kit can be edited using exclusive data.
Saving Drum Kits
When you execute the Write Drum Kits function, all drum kits will
be saved.
Unlike when editing a program or combination, your edited
content will temporarily remain even if you select a different
drum kit, but will be lost when you turn off the power.
If you want to keep the settings of an edited drum kit even
after power-off, you must execute Write Drum Kits.
Editing a drum kit will affect all programs that use the edited
drum kit. When editing a preloaded drum kit, it's a good idea
to copy the drum kit to an empty area in the user bank before
editing it.

KEY
Selects the key where the drum sample (and its settings) will be
assigned.
Tip: You can also set the note value and velocity value by the
keyboard (see page 13 of the Operation Guide).
If you check Assign for the key you select here the Drumsample
1–4, Voice Assign Mode, and Mixer parameters (see below) will
be used.
Assign
On (checked): The drum samples you assigned for Drumsample
1–4 will sound. Normally you will check this parameter.
Off (unchecked): The selected drum samples will be invalid, and
the drum samples of the key to the right will sound. At this time,
the pitch will be a semitone lower than the pitch of the key to the
right. Uncheck this parameter when you wish to play a drum
sample at differing pitches.

The selected key is shown in triangle.
Drumsample-1
Use Drumsample 1–4 to specify up to four drum samples.
For each drum sample, you can adjust the transposition, tuning,
filter cutoff, resonance, attack, and decay. These settings are added
to the settings of the program.
These are the settings for the first (High) velocity zone.
If you want to create a simple setup using only one drum sample,
adjust the appropriate settings in Drumsample 1, and then set
BottomVel. to 1 and Xfade to Off.
Drumsample On/Off
On (checked): Check this if you want to use Drumsample 1. The
selected drum sample will sound.
Off (unchecked): Drumsample 1 will not be used. The drum
sample will not sound.
