Program mode
Audio Volume
1. Press the CONTROL ASSIGN MIXER switch to make
T1–8 light.
2. Use the MIX VOLUMES 3 slider to control the volume.
Detune
This adjusts the pitch in one-cent steps. One cent is 1/100th
of a semitone.
The pitch of each drum kit is specified in Global P5: Drum
Kit.
You can control this using RPN.
1–4b: EQ
Auto Load Program EQ
On (checked): When you switch the drum track program,
the 3-band EQ values specified for the program will
automatically be loaded. Normally you will leave this
checked.
You are free to edit the 3-band EQ values that are
automatically loaded. You will be making changes based on
the settings of the original program.
Off (unchecked): The 3-band EQ values specified for the
program will not be loaded when you switch the drum track
program.
• When you select a drum track: Check this so that the 3-
band EQ settings of the program will be loaded. You can
adjust the timbre EQ based on these settings.
• When you've edited the drum track program's EQ
settings and want to leave them fixed: Uncheck this
item. The EQ settings will not change when you select
programs.
Bypass
When Bypass is checked, all of the EQ will be disabled,
including the Input Trim.
Bypass can be convenient for comparing the results of the
EQ with the original signal.
Input Trim
This controls the volume level going into the EQ. This
setting corresponds to the volume; a value of 50 corresponds
to –6 dB, and a setting of 25 corresponds to –12 dB.
High settings of the Low, Mid, and High Gain controls can
cause substantial increases in the overall level. You can
compensate for this by turning down the input trim.
High Gain
This controls the gain of the 10 kHz High Shelf EQ, in
increments of 0.5 dB.
Mid Frequency
This sets the center frequency for the Mid sweep EQ.
Mid Gain
This controls the gain of the Mid Sweep EQ, in increments of
0.5 dB.
Low Gain
This controls the gain of the 80 Hz Low Shelf EQ, in
increments of 0.5 dB.

1–4c: Bus
Bus Select [Dkit, L/R, IFX1...5, 1...4, 1/2, 3/4, Off]
This specifies the bus that will output the drum track
program.
Dkit: The Bus (IFX/Output) Select, FX Control Bus, Send1
(to MFX1), and Send2 (to MFX2) settings (Global 5–4b) for
each key of the drum kit used by the selected drum track
program will be valid. Choose this setting if you want to
apply separate insert effects to each drum instrument, or
send them separately to the AUDIO OUTPUT
(INDIVIDUAL) jacks.
When making Dkit settings, you will normally use IFX.
Patch to specify the output destination.
L/R: Output to the L/R bus.
IFX1, 2, 3, 4, 5: Output to the IFX1–5 bus.
1, 2, 3, 4: The timbres will be output in monaural from
AUDIO OUTPUT (INDIVIDUAL) 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively.
1/2, 3/4: Output according to the timbre pan settings from
AUDIO OUTPUT (INDIVIDUAL) 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 in
stereo.
Off: The sound will not be output to the L/R bus, IFX1–5
bus, or Individual 1–4 bus. Use the Off setting if you have
connected the drum track program output in series to a
master effect. Use Send1 (to MFX1) or Send2 (to MFX2) to
adjust the send level.
FX Control Bus
This sends the output of the drum track program to the FX
Control bus (two mono channels FX Ctrl1, 2).
The FX Control bus is used when you want to use another
audio signal to control the input of an effect. You can use the
two FX Control buses (two mono channels) to freely control
the effects in a variety of ways. For more information, please
see "FX Control Buses" on page 423.
AUX Bus
This sends the output of the drum track program to the AUX
buses (four mono channels: 1, 2, 3, 4).
The AUX buses are internal buses dedicated to recording,
that can be used for sampling etc. in each mode.
For example, you can use them to resample just the drum
track performance.
Resampling is possible if you select an AUX bus as the
Source Bus (Prog 0–7b).
As the Source Bus (Prog 0–7b), you will normally select L/R
so that you can sample the signal of the L/R bus, such as
your keyboard playing or KARMA function performance.
However if you want to sample only the drum track
performance, you'll use an AUX bus.
Off: The drum track program output will not be sent to an
AUX bus. Normally you will leave this off.
1, 2, 3, 4: The drum track program output will be sent to the
corresponding AUX bus in monaural.
1/2, 3/4: The drum track program output will be sent to the
corresponding pair of AUX buses (e.g., 1 and 2) in stereo.
Send 1
Send 2
These specify the send level at which the output of the drum
track program will be sent to each master effect.
Send 1: Send the signal to master effect 1.
Send 2: Send the signal to master effect 2.
If Bus Select is set to IFX1–5, the send levels to the master
effects are set by the post-IFX1–5 Send1 and Send2 (Prog 8–
