Editing a drum kit

Before editing a drum kit, uncheck the Memory Pro- tect (☞p.57).

1In Prgoram P0: Play, select the program that you wish to use while editing the drum kit.

Select a drum kit program from the preload programs etc. If the drum kit that you will be editing is already being used by a program, select that program. (In the separate “VNL,” programs that use a drum kit are marked by a d symbol.)

Set “Octave” (Program P1: Edit-Basic, OSC Basic page) to +0 [8']. With a setting other than +0 [8'], the relationship between the keys and the sounds will be incorrect.

The effects will sound using the settings of the last- selected program.

When you edit a drum kit, all programs that use that drum kit will be affected.

2Access the Sample Setup page of Global P5: Drum Kit.

3In “Drum Kit,” select the drum kit that you wish to edit.

If necessary, use the page menu command “Copy Drum Kit” to copy settings from a preload drum kit or a GM drum kit.

GM drum kits 144 (GM) – 152 (GM) cannot be selected here. (It is not possible to edit or write a GM drum kit.) If you wish to modify the settings of one of the drum kits 144 (GM) – 152 (GM), you can use “Copy Drum Kit” to copy it to 000 (I-A/B) – 143 (User), and then edit the copy.

4Use “Key” to select the note number that you wish to edit.

The drum sample parameters for the selected note number will be displayed in the High Drumsample, Low Drumsample, and Voice/Mixer pages.

To select a note number, you can use the VALUE con- trollers, or you can hold down the [ENTER] key and press a note on the keyboard.

5Use the “Assign” check box to specify whether a drum sample will be assigned to the note number.

If this is checked, a drum sample will be assigned to that note number. Normally you will check this.

If this is not checked, no drum sample will be assigned to that note number. That note number will sound the drum sample assigned at its right, but a semitone lower. Use this setting when you want only to change the pitch, such as with tom or cymbal sounds.

If you uncheck the “Assign” check box so that the drum sample at the right will be played at a pitch one semitone lower, access the Program P2: Edit-Pitch, OSC1 Pitch Mod. page, and set “Pitch Slope” to +1.0 before you enter Global mode.

6Use “High Drumsample Bank,” “High Drumsam- ple,” “Low Drumsample Bank,” and “Low Drumsam- ple” to specify the drum sample that will be assigned to this note number.

If you have selected a Low Drumsample, use “Velocity Sample SW Lo→ Hi” to specify how velocity will switch between the High Drumsample and Low Drumsample. (☞7)

ROM drumsamples can be selected if “High/Low Drumsample Bank” is set to ROM, samples you recorded on the TRITON STUDIO or loaded in Disk mode can be selected if you set this to RAM, and drum samples from a EXB-PCM option (if installed) can be selected if you set this to EXB.

Some of the EXB-PCM series options do not contain drum samples.

About the ROM drum samples

The TRITON STUDIO contains 417 different drum sam- ples in ROM. When you press the popup button, you will be able to select ROM drum samples from 15 categories. (☞For a list of the drum sample names, refer to “VNL”)

7Use “Velocity Sample SW Lo→ Hi” to specify how velocity will switch between drumsamples.

The drumsample that sounds when you perform will depend on the velocity (keyboard playing strength) of the incoming note. This is called velocity drumsample switching.

If you set this to 001, only the High Drumsample will sound.

☞This is the same type of function as the Velocity Multi- sample Switching in a program. (“High Multisample and Low Multisample” ☞p.69)

8Set the parameters of the drumsamples that you assigned.

Set the parameters for the High Drumsample and Low Drumsample.

You can set parameters such as volume level (“Level”), pitch (“Transpose,” “Tune”), and tone (“Cutoff,” “Res- onance”). (☞For details on each parameter, refer to PG p.148.)

9As necessary, repeat steps 4–8to set drumsample parameters for each note number.

If you wish to use the settings of another “KEY,” select the page menu command “Copy Key Setup”.
