PROGRAMMING DRUM SOUNDS

To program a sound in Drum Mode, you must first set the Sound Type to “Drum” for that particular sound in the Voice Function, page 2 (see previous section). The [0] –

[9]buttons are used to select a Drum (1–10), regardless of which Function or Page is selected (except Effect, Name and Misc.). For an explanation of the basics of Drum Mode, see page 53.

VOICE

The Voice function (press [40]) is where you choose the particular sample for the selected drum (1–10). Similar to the normal Assign Voice function, sounds are divided into groups. After selecting the group (on page 3), you then select the sample within the group (on page 4). Here is a chart listing the various drum samples in their respective groups.
