Each of the 10 drums in a sound can have its own level, pan position, and output assignment. The Level function (press [50]) provides these controls. Use page 1 to adjust the selected drum’s level (00 to 99), page 2 to adjust pan position (<3 to >3), page 3 to select the Output assignment (Main, Aux or Off). Page 4 lets you adjust the Effect Send level (00 to 99), and page 5 lets you select the Effects Bus (1, 2, 3 or 4).

TIP: To send a drum to an individual output, use Output in conjunction with Pan. Example: Panning a drum full left and selecting the Aux outputs means that the drum will appear at only the left Aux output.

PITCH

The Pitch function (press [60]) lets you transpose the selected drum up or down one octave in micro-step (1/4th of a half step) increments, and lets you modulate the drum’s pitch with velocity.

Tune (-12.00 to +12.00) Page 1

Determines the tuning of the selected drum (±12.00).

Velocity>Pitch (0 to 7) Page 2

Selects how much velocity will affect the selected drum’s tuning (0-7). When this value is set to 7, the drum will be played sharp when the associated note is played hard; when played soft, the drum’s tuning will be unaltered.

FILTER

Velocity>Filter (0 to 3) Page 1

The Filter function (press [70]) lets you control the “brightness” of the selected drum by modulating the filter frequency with velocity. When set to 3, playing the associated note will result in a brighter sound (more high frequencies), while playing softer will
