Editing Drum Kits

5–8
Menu Before you start editing...
Drum Program selection
Drum Kits are edited in Global mode. While you're in
Global mode, you'll play the kit that you're editing as if you
were playing it from within the Program, Combination, or
Song which was selected before you entered Global mode.
So, before you enter Global mode, it's best to select a
Program which is already set up for drums, with the
appropriate EG settings, effects, and so on. Just use the
Program Category select popup, and choose a drum
Program. You'll probably want to start from Program mode,
press the Category popup button to access the Category/
Program Select menu, and choose a drum kit program from
the Drums category.
OSC1/Basic Octave setting
The Oscillator's Octave setting needs to be +0 [8']. All Drum
Kit Programs should have this setting already. If you're
unsure, you can check this yourself:
1. Access the Prog P2: OSC/Pitch– OSC1 Basic page.
[Off, On]
2. Check that the Oct (Octave) parameter (near the top of
[001...127]
[Off, 001...127]
With a setting other than +0 [8'], the relationship between
the keys and the Drum Kit sound map will be incorrect.
Make sure that Memory Protect is disabled
Before you start editing, go to the Global P0: Basic Setup–
System Preference page, and look in the Memory Protect
section. Make sure that Drum Kit is not checked
(protected)–if so, you won't be able to make any edits.
Drum Kits may be used by more than one Pro-
gram
When you edit a Drum Kit, all Programs that use that Drum
Kit will be affected. To avoid changing the factory voicing,
you may wish to copy Drum Kits to empty locations in the
USER banks before editing.
Backing up a Drum Kit
Global mode does not have a Compare function that returns
the edited result to the state prior to editing. Before you
begin editing a user Drum Kit, it's a good idea to use Copy
Drum Kit to copy that Drum Kit to a vacant number.
