7–7: Drum Track
7–7a
7–7b
Here, you can select a drum track pattern and specify how it
will sound.
Note: In Combination mode (unlike Program mode) there is
no dedicated timbre for the drum track. You can assign the
drum track program to be any timbre 1–16. The drum track
program will be played when the drum track's MIDI
channel Output matches the timbre's MIDI Channel.
In Combination mode, the drum track patterns are triggered
on the Global MIDI channel.
MIDI transmission and reception for the drum
track
In Combination mode, the Drum Track function transmits
and receives on the following MIDI channels.
Receive: If you're controlling the triggering by playing the
keyboard, the drum track will receive on the global MIDI
channel.
Transmit: The drum track will transmit on the MIDI channel
specified by the Drum Pattern Output setting of each
combination.
Set this to match the MIDI channel of the timbre you've
specified for the drum program.
If the timbre's Status is EXT or EX2, the note data etc. of the
Drum Track pattern will be transmitted.

MIDI Channel
Output
This specifies the MIDI channel that will transmit the MIDI
data of the drum pattern. The drum pattern will trigger the
program of the timbre that is set to this same MIDI channel.
Gch: The data will be sent to the channel specified by the
global MIDI channel MIDI Channel setting (Global 1–1a).
Whether the pattern data will be output to an external
device will depend on the Status setting of the timbre that
matches the Output MIDI channel.
7–7b: Trigger
Trigger Mode [Start Immediately, Wait KBD Trig]
Start Immediately: When you press the DRUM TRACK
ON/OFF switch to turn it on (LED lit), the drum pattern
will start according to the Sync setting. When you turn it off
(LED dark), the drum pattern will stop.
Wait KBD Trig: When you press the DRUM TRACK ON/

TRACK ON/OFF switch will always be saved in the
OFF state.
