Shift
Shift lets you transpose the Drum Track pattern in
semitone steps, causing different instruments of the
drum kit to play. This will generally cause unexpected
results, which may often be interesting—experiment
and see!
Linking with KARMA
You can link KARMA and the Drum Track so that they
start and stop together.
1. Go to the KARMA Trigger page.
2. In the Module Parameters ‐ Trigger section, in the
Control Group, note the Link to Drum Track
check‐box.
3. Turn on Link to Drum Track.
The front panel LINKED LED will light.
If Link to Drum Track is on, KARMA will be linked
with the Drum Track start/stop.
4. Turn the KARMA ON/OFF switch on.
When linked, KARMA will always wait for the Drum
Track. So, unless the DRUM TRACK switch is on,
KARMA won't start yet.
5. Turn the DRUM TRACK switch on.
KARMA will start to play along with the Drum Track,
according to the Drum Track's Trigger Mode. See
"Turning the Drum Track on and off," above, for more
information.
If you turn off the DRUM TRACK switch while
KARMA is operating, KARMA will also stop.
For more details, please see "Using KARMA and the
Drum Track together," on page 243.

Drum Track and the Control Surface
You can use the control surface to control the Drum
Track's mix parameters, including volume, play/mute,
solo on/off, EQ, and effects sends.
1. Play a Drum Track pattern.
See "Turning the Drum Track on and off" on page 238.
2. Press the CONTROL ASSIGN TIMBRE/TRACK
switch.
3. On the display, press the Play tab, and then press
the Control Surface tab.
The Control Surface page will appear.
This page displays and reflects the control surface
settings. It's convenient to watch this page while using
the control surface, since it shows the parameter names
and precise values.
Note: You can use the control surface regardless of the
page that's currently shown in the display.
4. Use slider 3 to adjust the Drum Track volume.
5. Use Play/Mute switch 3 to toggle the Drum Track's
sound on and off.
Note that this controls only the sound of the Drum
Track Program, and is independent of whether or not
the Drum Track pattern is playing.
6. Press the MIXER KNOBS button until
the CHANNEL STRIP LED lights up.
This makes the knobs control a virtual
channel strip, including pan, EQ, and
effects sends.
7. Press the MIX SELECT 3 button to select the Drum
Track on the Control Surface.
8. Use knobs 2‐6 to adjust the Drum Track's EQ.
