User Audio Drum - KETRON Audya Series User Manual

User Audio Drum

The user can include custom Wave loops instead of
the internal AUDIO DRUMS into the Audya Styles.
These Loops must be allocated into the folder USER
AUDIO DRUMS which is placed on root of Audya (C:).
The Loops must have the following characteristics:
44 KHz , 16 bit and the name must have the sign @
followed by the precise BPM indication of the Loop.
As an example: HOUSE2@127.wav.
When enabled ( see note#2) Display will show "
Loading Audio Resources ) when Audya is turned on.
The Demo folder contains 1 User Audio Drums fitted
with a complete set up for all parts (Intro, Ending,
ABCD, Fill and Break). The Style are: House1,
Lounge, NewBossa, NuJazz.
In order to access the User Loops it needs to go
into Style View and press repeatedly the tab F1 until
appears the name User Audio Drum (Figure 1). With
Alpha dial is possible to scroll all the User Audio
Drums available.
The Loops are automatically synchronized with MIDI
and may be associated to each part of the Style such
as A, B, C, D, Fill In, Break, Intro, Ending
In order to memorize the User Drums on other parts
different than ABCD, such as Fill, Break, Intro and
Ending, it's necessary to switch on the two tabs KEY
START and KEY STOP on the panel.
On Style in Stop condition, when pressing Fill tab the
name Fill will appear on the screen thus allowing to
set the proper Loop for the Fill.
Same thing for Breaks and Intro – Ending. But in
order to achieve the Ending programming the tab
Intro must be pressed twice.
The new Style that incorporates User Audio Drums
can be saved as usual with SAVE into the User Style
section (Figure 163).
(Figure 162).
NOTE
1) If the User Audio Drums are associated to the 4 Ar-
rangers only, then Fills and Breaks will continue to
play the Arrange Loop. Giving a name with the initial
symbol @ will make easier to recognize it as an audio
Style.
2) A special option has been provided into Style Mode
> Drum > 2nd page to control the On/Off condition
for the User Audio Drums. When the option is set to
Off, then the initial Audio Resources Loading will be
skipped. The On/Off condition may be saved as de-
fault with Save Custom Start up function.
3) The Audio Resources Loading time is directly pro-
portional to the amount for files present on the User
Audio Drums folder.
