5. WORKING WITH DRUM KITS
It is important to understand
that pads and drums are
independent of one another. A drum can be assigned to
more than one pad at a time and the different pads can then
be set
for different
variations
in tuning,
level
and
processing
to
facilitate
easy
and versatile
entry
of
patterns.
Pressing PAD displays the current drum kit. The К-50
comes with 4 preset drum kits (PRE. 1-4) and 8 user-
defined drum kits (USER 1-8). (The instrument comes out
of the box with PRE. 1 assigned to the pads.) Play the 10
pads to hear each sound.
Pressing the 4 and
) keys moves through PRE 1-4
(presets) and USER
1-8. Select each kit in turn and
play the 10 pads.
CHANGING DRUMS
This is where drums are selected for the current pad
(Ше one played last). Besides
the 24 percussion
and
drum sounds, eight triggers are available which can be
programmed
to play external MIDI
devices. Trigger
parameters are set up under MIDI OUT.
