in Programs G129–136.

<<Making Drum Sounds>>
Drum Kits are regarded as a sound source like a Multisound in Programs, which allows you to
fine-tune the sound using the parameters available in Program Edit mode. For example, it is
possible to adjust tonal brightness using the VDF, or to adjust changes in tonal color and level
using the VDF EG and VDA EG respectively, to obtain special effect sounds. You can utilize
effects advantageously by setting the panpot for each index, or adjusting the send C/D levels. For
example, you may apply reverberation to only the snare sound, or apply the flanger effect to only
the hihat sound.
