SQ-80 — Musician's Manual
Transient Attack Wave, especially in the upper octaves where it no longer sounds like a drum.
> HI HAT. A sampled closed hi hat sound.
10) MULTISAMPLED DRUM SETS
The last 5 Waves are special ones — they combine the individual Drum/Attack Waves into a
number of complete multisampled Drum Sets, spread out across the
SQ-80's 5-octave keyboard.
By using the DRUMS
1-5 Waves you can have various combinations of drums together in one
Wave. This is great when sequencing — it's like having a drum machine built into your synthesizer.
Due to their unique nature, the DRUM Waves are often best used alone in a Program, with the
other two Oscillators turned OFF. You can, however, create special effects, such as assigning
more than one Oscillator to play a DRUM Wave, slightly detuned, which would result in a flanged- or
chorused-sounding set.
The various configurations of the five sets give you different ranges of TomTom, Snare and Log
Drum to work with. One idea is to use a Wave like DRUMS 4, which contains only Kick, Hat
and Toms, to make a lower Program, and then split that Program with one that uses the SNARE
Wave. This approach allows you to create specialized set-ups by processing various drums
through different Program parameters.
> DRUMS 1. The five Drum/Attack Waves described above are here arranged into a single
"Wave" through multisampling.
___ > DRUMS 2-5. These Waves feature different combinations of drums across the keyboard,
offering you 1) more range on some of the drums, and 2) the ability to create custom set-ups using,
Split Programs as described above. The illustration below shows how the Drums are arranged
on the keyboard for the
five DRUM Waves when the Waves are tuned to OCT=+O.
