Drum Track function
Using the Drum Track function in
Combination mode
Selecting a combination and turning the
Drum Track function on/off
1. Press the COMBI button to enter Combination mode,
and select the desired combination. (see "Selecting
Combinations" on page 41)
2. Press the DRUM TRACK button to turn the Drum
Track on/off. For details, please see the Program
mode sections "Playing and stopping the Drum
Track", and "Changing the tempo".
Selecting a Drum Track pattern and Drum
Track program
Unlike its functionality in Program mode, the Drum Track
function in Combination mode does not have its own
dedicated track (timbre). The program that plays the Drum
Track pattern will use the timbre that you specify.
1. In the COMBI> PROG page, select the timbre that
you want to use for the drum track, and then select
the Drum Track program.
In the following illustration, we've selected timbre 5 for
use by the drum track.
2. Specify the MIDI channel of the drum track timbre.
Be aware that if another timbre uses the same MIDI
channel, that timbre will also be played.
3. Access the C-DRUM TRACK> CHANNEL page.
Specify the drum track's MIDI channel Output. Set this
to match the MIDI Channel of the timbre that you
specified in step 2.
4. Access the C-DRUM TRACK> PATTERN page.
Use Pattern No. to select the Drum Track pattern.
Note: 000: If you select Off, it will not be possible to turn
the DRUM TRACK ON/OFF button on.
5. Press the DRUM TRACK button to verify that the
pattern plays correctly.
The method of triggering will depend on the Trigger
settings.

Drum Track function settings

Drum Track function settings in
Program mode
Starting/stopping the drum track
1. Access the P-DRUM TRACK> PATTERN page.
2. "Trigger Mode" specifies how the Drum Track
pattern will be triggered.
Start Immediately: When you press the DRUM TRACK
button to turn it on, the LED will light up and the Drum
Track pattern will start according to the Sync setting. It
will stop when you press the DRUM TRACK button to
turn it off.
Wait KBD Trigger: When you press the DRUM
TRACK button to turn it on, the LED will blink and the
Drum Track pattern will wait to start. When you play the
keyboard or receive a MIDI note-on, the Drum Track
pattern will start according to the Sync setting.
3. Specify the Sync setting.
Off (unchecked): The Drum Track pattern will not
synchronize to the arpeggiator that's currently running,
but will start immediately.
On (checked): The Drum Track pattern will synchronize
to the arpeggiator that's currently running.
4. If "Trigger Mode" is set to Wait KBD Trigger, specify
the "Latch" setting. "Latch" specifies whether the
Drum Track pattern will continue playing even after
you take your hand off the keyboard.
Off (unchecked): If the DRUM TRACK button is on
(the LED will blink), the pattern will start when you play
the keyboard (note-on). The pattern will stop when you
release the keyboard (note-off).
On (checked): If the DRUM TRACK button is on (the
LED will blink), the pattern will start when you play the
keyboard (note-on). The pattern will continue when you
release the keyboard (note-off). The pattern will stop
when you turn the DRUM TRACK button off (the LED
will go dark).
5. If "Trigger Mode" is set to Wait KBD Trigger, specify
the Keyboard Zone and Velocity Zone.
These settings specify the range of keys and velocities
that will trigger the Drum Track pattern when you play
the keyboard (or receive a note-on).
Saving the on/off status
If "Trigger Mode" is set to Wait KBD Trigger, the drum
track's on/off status can be saved in the program.
If "Trigger Mode" is set to Start Immediately, the drum
track's on/off status will always be saved as "off," regardless
of the state of the DRUM TRACK button.
