Introduction to Drum Parameters
The changes you make here apply to the drum part.
A set contains only one set of drum parameters.
If you want to quickly switch just the drum settings, it is best to
use a user program.
NOTE
The FR-4x internal memory (temporary area) remembers your settings
while the FR-4x is switched on. While editing, there is no absolute need
to save your settings. Be aware, however, that all changes are lost when
the FR-4x is switched off .
See “How to Save a Set” (p. 33) to save your changes.
Also be sure to read “Important Remark About Saving Your
Settings” (p. 45).
