Synchronizing the Drum Track function

The Trigger "Sync" parameter
The trigger timing of a drum track will depend on the
setting of its Trigger Sync parameter.
On (checked): The trigger timing will be quantized to the
nearest beat relative to the base tempo.
Off (unchecked): If Trigger Mode is Start Immediately,
triggering will occur at the moment you press the DRUM
TRACK ON/OFF switch. If this is set to Wait KBD Trig,
triggering will occur at the moment you play the keyboard.
Synchronizing the drum track with the arpeggia-
tor function, Sequencer mode songs, patterns,
and RPPR performance
If you want the Drum Track pattern to play or be recorded in
synchronization with the currently-operating arpeggiator
function, currently-playing song, pattern, or RPPR
performance, turn Trigger Sync on.
Trigger Sync Off: If the Trigger Mode setting is Start
Immediately, the Drum Track pattern will be triggered the
moment you press the DRUM TRACK ON/OFF switch. If
this is set to Wait KBD Trig, the Drum Track pattern will be
triggered the moment you play the keyboard. It will not
synchronize to the currently-operating arpeggiator function
or to the currently-playing song, pattern, or RPPR.
Trigger Sync On: Triggering will synchronize to the
currently-playing song, pattern or RPPR performance at the
beginning of the next measure. Triggering will synchronize
to the currently-operating arpeggiator (in Sequencer mode if
the song or pattern is stopped) on the next beat.
Note: If you want to synchronize the arpeggiator to the
currently-running Drum Track function, set the Key Sync
parameter (Prog/Combi/Seq P7).
Note: If you want to synchronize the RPPR pattern
performance to the currently-running Drum Track function,
set the Sync parameter (Seq P10: Pattern/RPPR– RPPR
Setup page) to Beat or Measure.
