Drumming on the keyboard
The E-80 also allows you to play drums and percussion
on the keyboard. If you have ever worked with an older
Roland arranger instrument, you may remember that
there used to be a part called “M.Drums” for playing
percussion phrases. This part no longer exists, because
any of the following Keyboard parts can be used for
drumming: UP1, UP2, UP3, LW1, LW2 and MBS.
(1) Press the TONE ASSIGN button of the part you
want to assign a Drum Set to (the button lights).
(2) Press the TONE [DRUMS] button.
(3) Press a field to select another Drum Set.
You may have to use the [PAGE¥1]~[PAGE¥5] buttons
to jump to the page that contains the desired Drum
Set. The [˚] field allows you to jump to additional
pages.
(4) Play a few notes on the keyboard.
Every key is assigned to a different drum/percussion
sound. Press the second “C” key from the left (C2) to
sound a bass drum (“Kick”) and the white key to its
right (D2) to play a snare sound. Then, try out the
other keys.
(5) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.
Entries with an [EXP¥A] or [EXP¥B] icon to the right of
their name refer to Drum Sets that reside on an SRX-
series expansion board you installed.
