Overall Drum Kit Volume (Master Volume)

You can adjust the overall volume of the drum kit while preserving the volume balance between each of the pads. The higher the value is set, the greater the volume. With a setting of “0,” no sound is produced.

The volume balance among the pads is adjusted in the “Level” (KIT/INST/Level; p. 59).

Adjusting the Volume of the Pedal Hi-Hat Sound (Pedal Hi-Hat Volume)

For each drum kit, you can adjust the volume of the pedal hi- hat that sound (when the hi-hat control pedal is pressed). The higher the value is set, the greater the volume. With a setting of “0,” no sound is produced.

Set the volume level of other pads with the “Level” setting (KIT/INST/Level; p. 59).

Pedal HH Vol (Pedal Hi-Hat Volume): 0–15

Setting the Range for the Pitch Control with the Hi-Hat Control Pedal (Pedal Pitch Control Range)

Pitch Control is a function that lets you change the pitch of an instrument assigned to a pad according to the amount the hi- hat control pedal is pressed.

Releasing the pedal returns the instrument to its original pitch. The degree to which the pitch is to change when the hi-hat control pedal is pressed is set in semitone (half-step) increments from -24 (down two octaves) to +24 (up two octaves). When set to “0,” there is no change in pitch.

Pitch Control is turned on and off in the “Pitch Ctrl (Pitch Control)” setting (KIT/CONTROL/Pitch Ctrl; p. 64).

To prevent the pedal hi-hat sound from being played when the hi-hat pedal is pressed, set “Pedal HH Vol (Pedal Hi-Hat Volume)” to “0” (KIT/COMMON/Pedal HH Vol; p. 66).

To have changes in pitch occur smoothly, set “PdlDataThin (Pedal Data Thin)” to “1” or “OFF” (SETUP/MIDI COMMON/PdlDataThin; p. 99).

MasterVolume (Master Volume): 0–127

PchCtrlRange (Pedal Pitch Control Range): -24–+24
