Drum Mode
This enables and disables Drum Mode which allows you to assign individual drum
sounds to individual keys. To Program a sound in Drum Mode, refer to the next
section “Programming Drum Sounds.”
Sound Enable
This is the master on/off switch for the selected sound (1 – 4) of the current Program.
To avoid using up polyphony unnecessarily, set Sound Enable to OFF for any
sounds that will not be used in a Program. When using Edit 4 mode, disabled sounds
will have the word “sndx” (where x is a sound from 1 to 4) appear in lowercase letters
above each bar graph meter in the display. Active sounds will have the word “SNDX”
appear in uppercase letters. Turning sounds off is a convenient way to isolate a
particular sound you are editing. A quick way to turn a sound on and off from
anywhere within Program Edit mode is to hold the corresponding Quad Button [1] –
[4] and press VALUE [¨] to disable or VALUE [Æ] to enable.
Example:
Holding Quad
Button [1] and pressing VALUE [¨] will disable sound 1.
