Tip: You will notice that the 13 Voice Groups are remarkably similar to the 13 Drum
Groups that exist within Drumkit Mode. The one difference is that the USER
Drum Group has been replaced with the REVERB Voice Group. The Reverb
Voice Group contains various sampled instances of specific drum
reverberations that can be layered very effectively with normal, dry drum
samples to create rich ambient timbres that may, in turn, be sent through the
DM Pro Effects Processor. Think of it as recording a somewhat ambient drum
through a set of mics and then processing it with outboard effects.
P3 The SOUND SELECT Parameter
This Parameter determines the actual Voice that will occupy a Sound. Once you have
selected a suitable Voice Group as described above, you can now select a specific
Voice to occupy the current Sound.
Move the cursor beneath the Parameter Value to select your desired Voice to occupy
the Sound:
SND1:VOICE
Snd:Dbl Head A
As usual, move the Value encoder to scroll through the various Voices to find your
desired choice.

The Sound Level Function contains only two Parameters: Volume and Pan. Think of
this Function as the very bottom section of a four channel stereo mixing board.
P1 The SOUND VOLUME Parameter
This Parameter simply sets the level of the currently selected Sound. To set the Sound
level, move the cursor beneath the Parameter Value and then turn the Value encoder
to the desired volume:
SND1:LEVEL
Snd Volume: 9 0
P2 The SOUND PAN Parameter
This Parameter sets the position of the currently selected Sound within the stereo
field. The Sound Pan Parameter has seven possible settings:
< 3
< 2
< 1
< >
