Global Settings, Wave Seq., Drum Kits
Controlling effects for each key
Drum Kits have their own, built-in mixers. For each key, you
can control the Insert Effects busing, Master Effects sends,
and pan.
To use separate bus settings for each key:
1. In PROGRAM mode, go to the Routing tab of the IFX
page.
2. Make sure that the Use DKit Setting check-box is
checked.
When Use DKit Setting is on, the Program will use the
Bus Select and Effects Send settings for each key of the
Drum Kit.
When Use DKit Setting is off, the Program will ignore
the Drum Kit's Bus Select and Effects Send settings.
3. In GLOBAL mode, go to the Voice Assign/Mixer tab
of the Drum Kit page.
4. Use the Bus Select (IFX/Indiv. Out Assign) parameter
to send drum sounds through their own Insert effects,
or to the individual outputs.
If you like, you can send each note to its own Insert
effect, or to the individual audio outputs, in addition to
the main L/R outputs.
For example, you might send all snare sounds to IFX1,
all kick sounds to IFX2, and the remaining sounds to
L/R.
5. Use "Send1(MFX1)" and "Send2(MFX2)" to set the
send levels to the master effects.

Saving Drum Kits

Once you've spent all this time editing, you'll want to save
your work. To save your Drum Kit edits:
1. Select the Write Drum Kit command from the page
menu.
This brings up a dialog box which allows you to save the
Drum Kit. Optionally, you can also select a new location,
or change the Drum Kit's name.
2. Press the Drum Kit name to bring up the text edit
dialog.
You can give the Drum Kit a descriptive name using the
on-screen keyboard.
3. After entering the name, press OK.
The text edit window will disappear, returning you to the
main Save dialog.
4. Press the popup button next to Drum Kit to bring up
the save location dialog.
5. Select a location to save the edited Drum Kit.
To avoid overwriting the factory sounds, it's safer to use a
slot in one of the seven USER banks.
Note that although you can edit General MIDI kits, you
can only save these edits to locations in the INT or USER
banks. The original GM kits cannot be over-written.
6. After selecting the location, press OK.
7. Press OK again to start the write process.
8. If you're sure you want to write to this location, press
OK again.
After that, you're done!

Controlling pan for each key
To use separate pan settings for each key:
1. In PROGRAM mode, go to the Amp1/Driver1 tab of
the Amp/EQ page.
2. Under Pan, make sure that the Use DKit Setting
check-box is checked.
When Use DKit Setting is on, the Program will use the
pan settings for each key of the Drum Kit.
3. In GLOBAL mode, go to the Voice Assign/Mixer tab
of the Drum Kit page.
4. Use the Pan parameter to specify the key's stereo
output position.
Double Drum Programs
Double Drum Programs let you layer two Drum Kits
together. Most often, these will be close-mic'd and ambient
versions of the same acoustic drums, so that you can control
the balance between the two. You could also use this for
creative layering and special effects, of course!
Everything else about Double Drum Programs is the same as
for Single Drum Programs.
