4. Drum kit
• This area selects the drum voice (drum kit) to be edited.
Each voice consists of a kit of instruments, with each in-
strument assigned to a different note on the keyboard.
• As explained above, you can apply editing to one drum kit
only. If you change the kit setting (either purposely or by
accident), all editing parameters on this page immediately
return to their defaults. Be sure to select the correct kit be-
fore making your editing changes; do not change the kit
unless you wish to restart the entire editing process.

5. Reverb send level
• This value sets the signal level to the reverb block. Raising
this value increases the amount of reverb applied to the in-
strument.
• Keep in mind that total reverb application depends also on
the mixer’s reverb send level (→ p.230) and the PATTERN
EFFECTS reverb return level. (→ p.241, 242)

000,...,127
6. Chorus send level
• This value sets the signal level to the chorus block. Raising
this value increases the amount of chorus effect applied to
the instrument.
• Note that total chorus-effect application depends also on
the mixer’s chorus send level (→ p.230) and the PATTERN
EFFECTS chorus return level. (→ p.241, 242)

000,...,127
7.Variation send level
• This value sets the signal level to the variation-effect block.
The numerical setting is effective only if the variation mode
(→ p.242) is set to “system” (see below). Provided that the
mode is “system”, you can use this feature to set a different
variation-effect level for each instrument in the kit.
• Note that the actual effect application depends also on the
EFFECT mode’s variation-return setting.
• If the variation mode is “system,” then the level to the vari-
ation-effect block varies according to the numerical value
you set here. If the mode is “insertion,” however, then a
setting of 000 switches the variation-effect off, while any
other value (from 001 to 127) switches the effect on. (See
page 242 for information about the variation-mode setting.)

8. Pan
• This value sets the instrument position for stereo playback.
(The position is determined relative to the left and right
speakers.)
• You can get the most natural effect by setting instrument
positions to match the arrangement of a true drum set.

Random, Left=63,...,Center,...,Right=63
(where Random causes the instrument’s position to change at
random each time it is played.)
9. Level
• This value sets the instrument’s volume.

000,...,127
10. Pitch fine-tuning
• This setting fine-tunes the instrument’s pitch, in 1-cent in-
crements (where 1 cent corresponds to 1/100 semitone).
0101
1101
-64,...,+00,...,+63
11. Pitch coarse-tuning
• This setting coarse-tunes the instrument’s pitch, in semi-
tone increments.
• A value of 00 retains the instrument’s original pitch (the
pitch recorded when the instrument was sampled).
• You can use this adjustment to set up melodic toms or other
kinds of pitched drum play. Note that changes to the pitch
may cause changes in the instrument’s sound characteris-
tics.
• After setting the coarse pitch, you can apply fine tuning by
adjusting the “pitch fine-tuning” value described above.
