Drum Map

The Q offers the creation of so-called Drum Maps, which are collections of 32 sounds that are
mapped over the keyboard. You can use them to trigger drum or effect sounds that you don't need to
play polyphonically with different pitches. A Multi program can hold one Drum Map, so, combined
with the 16 part Multi mode of the Q, this gives you 15 + 32 = 47 different sounds at a time.
To select a Drum Map, refer to the section Selecting Programs. In general, Drum Maps are stored in
Bank D of the Q's internal or Bank E of the Q´s card memory. After you've selected a Drum Map, you
can edit its parameters in the Sound menu.

Drum Map Sound Menu

Selecting a Drum Map entry for editing is done by just playing a key on the keyboard. The upper left
corner of the display shows the Drum Sound you are currently editing like this:
With the Page Dial, you can select the various pages for the selected Drum Sound. When you turn the
Page Dial further than the last page, the Q automatically jumps to the next Drum Sound's first page
and vice versa.
Sound Bank and Number A...C 001...100
Each Drum Map entry points to one Sound in memory. The display shows the Sound name in the
upper row and the Sound bank and number in the lower row as follows:
☞
To select a Sound for an Instrument:
• Use the left display dial to select Bank A...C or X from which the Sound program is
taken.
• Use the right display dial to select the Sound program 001...100.
A Drum Map in the internal memory can point to a Sound that is stored on card or vice versa.
However, you should try to avoid to setup a Drum Map in internal memory that points to a
Sound on card because the Drum Map might sound strange if you haven't inserted the correct
card.
