6.4 Tuning the drums
Each of the 32 drums may be independently tuned over a 1 1/2 octave
range, in .1 semitone increments. In addition to being very useful in
adjusting the tone of a drum, some spectacular special effects can be created
by tuning a sound by a large amount.
To tune the drums, press the SOUNDS key, then type 3 to select the
TUNE DRUMS option, and the following screen will appear:
This screen is used to adjust the tuning of any of the drums. The range is
from "-120" (one octave down) to "+60" (one half octave up), adjustable in
increments of. 1 semitone. No tuning change is indicated by +0. If the
BANK 2 light is ON, the 2nd bank of drums is displayed. A description of
each of the screen fields and soft keys follows:
• The PRC1 through BASS fields:
These are the current tuning settings for the first 16 drums. If the BANK 2
light is ON, the second bank of drums, DRO1 - DR16, is displayed. To
change the tuning, press the desired drum's pad or move the cursor to the
desired drum field and change the setting using the DATA CONTROL or
NUMERIC KEYPAD. To change from + to -, turn the DATA
CONTROL to the left until negative numbers appear; to change from - to
+, turn the DATA CONTROL to the right until positive numbers appear.
• The MODE field:
This field has two options: SEQUENCE and MASTER. described
below:
1. SEQUENCE:
Each of the 99 sequences has its own set of tuning settings which
is saved when the sequence is saved to disk. If SEQUENCE is
selected here, this set of sequence tunings is used. This is useful if
you want the tuning settings of all drums to automatically change
as you select different sequences.
