MODE

Mode (PATTERN, TRACK)

As we have already discussed, your ZETA SYNTHONY II allows two different ways to play drum sequences. You can play either individual patterns, or entire tracks made up of several patterns. Here is where you decide whether you want simple patterns or entire tracks to be played when you press the hold pedal in PRESET MODE.

PATTERN

Pattern Editor (1…32)

With this sub menu, you can edit your drum patterns. You can create up to 32 patterns that can be played back either individually or as part of a track sequence. Use the +/- Value buttons to select the desired pattern number and press the ENTER button to begin editing it.

KIT (STANDARD1…SFX2)

There are 11 drum kits available, from which you can choose a maximum of four instruments for each pattern. Use the +/- Value buttons to select the drum kit from which you want to use drum sounds.

STEPS (1…16)

Here is where you select the actual step in the pattern you want to edit. Every step can contain 4 drum sounds with 3 different dynamic levels. The larger the number of steps you set with this parameter, the finer the resolution of your pattern will be. You can also set values for uneven meters. The value of 12, for example, will result in 3/4 time with a resolution of 16th notes.

DRUM INSTRUMENT (1…4)

Choose a drum instrument from the list of drum sounds available in the presently active drum kit and press the ENTER button to begin editing. In the bottom half of the display appears a dotted line with a cursor whose position is dependent upon the individual steps (see STEPS). You can move the cursor to the left or right by using the +/- Parameter buttons. Use the +/- Value buttons to then add an accent at the proper step position. You will see a small vertical bar at that position. Press the +/- Value buttons repeatedly to increase or decrease the strength of the accent, visible in the display as a thicker or thinner bar. You can make the accent so weak that it disappears altogether. When you are finished, press the EXIT button. You can of course repeat this process for the 3 other instruments you have selected for the pattern. A further press of the EXIT button takes you out of the PATTERN EDITOR.
