Section 7 — Drum Sound Parameters
This section covers those functions that can be edited independently for each voice within a
Drum sound.
Edit (Drum) Sound Mode
Whenever you want to edit a drum sound, you must first place the KT into Edit (Drum) Sound
mode. Once in Edit (Drum) Sound mode you can modify the parameters of a drum sound to
better suit your needs or create a completely new sound.
To access the following parameters, first select a drum sound, and then press the {EDIT_SOUND}
button to enter Edit Sound mode. In Edit Sound mode, the upper {0} to {9} buttons are used to
access the groups of pages relating to sound editing, and the lower {0} to {9} buttons are used to
select the pages within that group. This combination of upper and lower buttons is called the
page number. Each page in Edit (Drum) Sound mode has a two digit page number.

This parameter is used to select each of the 17 drum voices for editing.
With a Drum Sound selected (in Edit Sound mode), take a moment to play each key on the
KT’s keyboard. You’ll notice that each time you play a new key, the current key number changes.
However, the key range parameters (Low Key and High Key) and the wave name change every
several keys. If you count, you’ll discover that there are 17 of these changes, corresponding to the
17 voices.
