Editing Programs: Chapter 6

Misc.

Drum Mode

This enables and disables Drum Mode which allows you to assign individual drum sounds to individual keys. To Program a sound in Drum Mode, refer to the next section “Programming Drum Sounds.”

Sound Enable

This is the master on/off switch for the selected sound (1—4) of the current Program.

To avoid using up polyphony unnecessarily, set Sound Enable to OFF for any sounds that will not be used in a Program. When using Edit 4 mode, disabled sounds will have the word “sndx” (where x is a sound from 1 to 4) appear in lowercase letters above each bar graph meter in the display. Active sounds will have the word “SNDX” appear in uppercase letters. Turning sounds off is a convenient way to isolate a particular sound you are editing. A quick way to turn a sound on and off from anywhere within Program Edit mode is to hold the corresponding Quad Button [1]—[4] and press VALUE [¬] to disable or VALUE [‾] to enable. Example: Holding Quad Button [1] and pressing VALUE [¬] will disable sound 1.
