Selecting and Adjusting Sounds (Sound Parameters)
Selecting a Sound (INST)
The parameters in the SOUND group (the sound parameters) allow you to modify the sound
assigned to each pad.
The SOUND group contains 7 parameters: INST, LEVEL, PITCH, DECAY, PAN, CURVE and FX SEND.
About Phrase Loop
Some Instruments are designed as Phrase Loops.
When you select a Phrase Loop, you don’t just hear single notes; instead, a short phrase typical
of that musical genre is played. You cannot play more than one Phrase Loop at the same time. To
force a Phrase Loop tostop sounding, select “MUTE” and strike the pad. No sound is heard from a
pad that has been set for “MUTE.”
Sound parameter settings for each pad are stored in each Patch.
Each sound assigned to a pad is called an Instrument. The SPD-20X contains 747 such Instruments,
and the Instrument assign settings determine which sounds will be played. The 747 Instruments
are grouped into the following categories.
The Hi-Hat Cymbals for pedal control “instruments PEDAL_HH 1 – PEDAL_HH 17” can be used eectively
only when a Hi-Hat controller (FD-8; separately sold) is used.
If the Instrument assign setting for any Pad is set to “OFF”, there will be no sound when you strike that
Pad.
If you make the Hold Pedal settings, then with some of the sounds, you can use the footswitch to sustain
the sound. For the instruments that can be lengthened with the footswitch, refer to Instrument List.
When an Instrument is selected, by pressing PATCH/VALUE [+] while holding down [-] (or viceversa), you
can jump to the next Instrument group.
