7–4: DrumTrk Pattern
(DrumTrack Pattern)
7–4a
7–4b
Here you can select a drum track pattern and specify how it
will sound.
The drum track lets you easily produce a rhythm section
using the M50's high-quality drum programs and a rich
variety of drum track patterns.
You can edit the program or try out different phrases while
listening to the drum track.
When you come up with a phrase you like, you can use the
Auto Song Setup function to easily record it into the
sequencer.
In Program mode, the drum track patterns are triggered
on the Global MIDI channel. The MIDI transmit
channel is specified by the DrumTrack Prog MIDI Ch
(Global P1: MIDI– MIDI Basic). Use the DrumTrack
Prog MIDI Out (Global P1: MIDI– MIDI Basic) setting
to specify whether the pattern will transmit MIDI note
data. The default setting is channel 10.
The drum track program will not transmit or receive
MIDI program changes.
