Mute Group (Off, 1, 2, or 3) Page 2

This is an important feature when using multiple sounds of the same instrument. Mute Groups allow multiple drums to share a single voice. For example, if you have assigned a Closed Hat and an Open Hat to two different notes, playing either note should cut-off the other (if it had recently been played). This creates a more realistic sound, since an actual Hi Hat is only capable of making one sound at a time.

In the Amp Envelope function, Page 2 is used to assign the selected drum to one of the three Mute Groups. In our example above, both Hi Hat drums would be assigned to the same Mute Group. The additional Mute Groups can be used by other sounds that you wish to cut-off each other, but do not want to interfere with the Hi Hat sounds.

COPYING SOUNDS

While editing a Program, it is helpful to be able to copy a sound to another sound in either the same Program or a different Program, especially if you are building a split or layered Program. This can be done very easily from within the Store function. To copy a Sound to another sound in the same Program, or to the same sound in a different Program:

¿From Program Edit mode, press [STORE].

¡Press [PAGE] twice to select Page 2 of the Store function.

¬Use the [s VALUE] and [VALUE t] buttons to select which sound (1–4) in the currently selected Program to copy from.

√Press [PAGE] to advance the cursor to the lower line of the display.

ƒUse the [s VALUE] and [VALUE t] buttons to select which sound (1–4) in the currently selected Program to copy to; or to select which Program (00–127) to copy to.

≈Press [STORE] to copy the sound.

COPYING EFFECTS

While editing a Program, it is helpful to be able to copy the Effects Patch from a different Program. This can be done very easily from within the Store function.

J	Be sure to save your changes to the edited Program before going to a new Program.
	Otherwise, all your changes will be lost.
	To copy the Effects Patch from a Program to another Program:
	¿	Recall the Program which contains the Effects Patch you wish to copy.
	¡	Press [STORE].
	¬	Press [PAGE ] twice to select Page 2 of the Store function.
