Drum Mode
This enables and disables Drum Mode which allows you to
assign individual drum sounds to individual keys. To Program a
sound in Drum Mode, refer to the next section "Programming
Drum Sounds."
Sound Enable
This is the master on/off switch for the selected sound (1—4) of
the current Program.
To avoid using up polyphony unnecessarily, set Sound Enable
to OFF for any sounds that will not be used in a Program. When
using Edit 4 mode, disabled sounds will have the word "sndx"
(where x is a sound from 1 to 4) appear in lowercase letters
above each bar graph meter in the display. Active sounds will
have the word "SNDX" appear in uppercase letters. Turning
sounds off is a convenient way to isolate a particular sound you
are editing. A quick way to turn a sound on and off from
anywhere within Program Edit mode is to hold the
corresponding Quad Button [1]—[4] and press VALUE [ ] to
disable or VALUE [ ] to enable. Example: Holding Quad Button
[1] and pressing VALUE [ ] will disable sound 1.
