Using Hold
TheProgramHoldparametercanbeespeciallyuseful
fordrumprograms,sinceitletsthesamplesringout
naturallyregardlessofhowlongyouholddownthe
note.Thewaythatthisworksdependsonsettingsin
boththeProgramandtheDrumKit,asdescribed
below.
ToenableHold:
1. In
Programmode,gototheProgramBasictabof
theBasic/Vectorpage.
2. UnderKeyZone,makesurethattheHoldcheck‐
boxischecked.
Onceyou’veturnedonHoldfortheProgram,the
functioniscontrolledonanote‐by‐notebasis
accordingtosettingswithintheDrumKit.
3. InGlobalmode,
gototheVo ic eMixertabofthe
DrumKitpage.
4. Foreachkey, settheEnableNoteOffReceive
parameterasdesired.
Ifthisparameterisunchecked,thekeywillbeheld.
Ifitischecked,thekeywillnotbeheld.
IfyouturnoffHoldintheProgram,no

Controlling effects for each key
DrumKitshavetheirown,built‐inmixers.Foreach
key,youcancontroltheInsertEffectsbussing,Master
Effectssends,andpan.
Touseseparatebussettingsforeachkey:
1. InProgrammode,gototheRoutingtaboftheIFX
page.
2. MakesurethattheUseDKitSettingcheck‐box
is
checked.
WhenUseDKitSettingison,theProgramwillusethe
BusSelectandEffectsSendsettingsforeachkeyofthe
DrumKit.
WhenUseDKitSettingisoff,theProgramwillignore
theDrumKit’sBusSelectandEffectsSendsettings.
3. InGlobalmode,gototheVo ic e
Mixertabofthe
DrumKitpage.
4. UsetheBusSelect(IFX/Indiv.OutAssign)
parametertosenddrumsoundsthroughtheirown
Inserteffects,ortotheindividualoutputs.
Ifyoulike,youcansendeachnotetoitsownInsert
effect,ortotheindividualaudiooutputs,inadditionto
the
mainL/Routputs.
Forexample,youmightsendallsnaresoundstoIFX1,
allkicksoundstoIFX2,andtheremainingsoundsto
L/R.
5. Use“Send1(MFX1)”and“Send2(MFX2)”tosetthe
sendlevelstothemastereffects.
Controlling pan for each key
Touseseparatepansettingsforeachkey:
1. InProgrammode,gototheAmp1/Driver1tabof
theAmp/EQpage.
2. UnderPan,makesurethattheUseDKitSetting
check‐boxischecked.
WhenUseDKitSettingison,theProgramwillusethe
pansettingsforeachkeyoftheDrum
Kit.
3. InGlobalmode,gototheVo ic eMixertabofthe
DrumKitpage.
4. UsethePanparametertospecifythekey’sstereo
outputposition.
