GETTING READY

1I ACCESSING/EXITING MULTIPITCH (SET-UP 11 & 13)

1.Activate the SET-UP Module by pressing its switch. Its LED will glow, and the display will ask for a function from the list printed to the right of the SET-UP switch.

2.Key in 11 (MULTI-PITCH). Select the sound to be multi-pitched by using SELECT to select the bank containing the sound, then press the sound’s Play button. That sound will now be spread across the Play buttons at factory pre- selected pitches.

3.If you want to edit the factory preset pitches, select TUNE/DECAY with the TUNE-MIX-MULTI switch and vary the sliders to change pitch. The display shows the relative pitch of each sound. When the tuning is as desired, press

ENTER.

4.While in multipitch, you may also edit the level for each sound of the multipitched Bank. Press the TUNE-MIX-MULTI button and select MIX, then use the sliders as described earlier to set the levels.

5.Whenever you select the bank containing the multipitched sound, it will still be in multipitch mode. This will be indicated by the MULTIMODE LED (next to the TUNE-MIX-MULTI switch) being on.

To turn off multi-pitch:

1.Activate the SET-UP module (if it is not already) and select the bank to “de- multipitch”. The display should be asking “Set-up Function?”; if it instead shows the bar graph, press ENTER to alert the computer it can move on to the next task.

2.Key in 13 (EXIT MULTI-MODE). When the display asks “Exit Multi Mode?”, press YES. The Bank will return to its normal preset assignments.

Notes: Once a segment has been recorded with sounds at particular pitches, these pitches cannot be modified after the fact for that segment unless you erase the sound and re-record it.

You can enter and exit multipitch and multilevel modes while recording to gain additional drum sounds. Pitch changes can also be recorded along with the segment.
