GLOBAL mode
GLOBAL > Drum Kit
Drum Kits, as the name implies, are optimized for creating
drum sounds. They are created and edited here in GLOBAL
mode, and can then be used in PROGRAM > Basic/X-
Y/Controllers– Program Basic page. You can process them
through the HD-1's filter, amp, drive, effects, and so on,
similar to Multisamples or Wave Sequences.
For detailed step-by-step instructions on using and editing
Drum Kits, please see "Using Drum Kits" on page 190 of the
OG.
Before editing Drum Kits
First, select a Drum Program
While you're in Global Mode, you'll play the kit that you're
editing as if you were playing it from within the Program,
Combi, or Song which was selected before you entered
GLOBAL mode.
So, before you enter GLOBAL mode, it's best to select a
Program which is already set up for drums, with the
appropriate EG settings, effects, and so on. Just use the
Program Category select popup, and choose a drum Program
such as "Studio Standard Kit."
Note: If you select a Double Drums Program before entering
GLOBAL mode, the Drum Kit from Oscillator 1 will be
selected and ready for editing. When editing in GLOBAL
mode, the selected Drum Kit will always play as if it were in
the Program's Oscillator 1.
The Drum Kit in Oscillator 2 will continue to sound as well,
although you can't edit it directly.
OSC1/Basic Octave setting
In order for the note mappings to match the keyboard, the
Oscillator's Octave setting needs to be +0 [8']. All Drum Kit
Programs should have this setting already. If you're unsure,
you can check this yourself:
1. Go to the OSC1/Basic tab of the OSC/Pitch page.
2. Check that the Octave parameter (near the top of the
page) is set to +0 [8'].
With a setting other than +0 [8'], the relationship between
the keys and the Drum Kit sound map will be incorrect.
Make sure that Memory Protect is disabled
Before you start editing, go to the Global Basic page, and
look in the Memory Protect section. Make sure that Drum
Kit is not checked–if so, you won't be able to make any
edits.
Drum Kits may be used by more than one
Program
When you edit a Drum Kit, all Programs that use that Drum
Kit will be affected. To avoid changing the factory voicing,
you may wish to copy Drum Kits to empty locations in the
USER banks before editing.
If you turn off the power or select another drum kit before
writing, your edits cannot be recovered. To save your
edits, use the Write Drum Kit page menu command to
open the Update Drum Kit dialog box.
If "Enable Exclusive" (1–1c) is checked, the drum kit can
be edited via MIDI System Exclusive data.
