Chapter 7. Creating your original Tone or Drum Set
Creating a Drum Set
You can create your own Drum Set by editing the percussion
instrument sounds in one of the Preset Drum Sets. A Drum
Set that you create can be saved as a User Drum Set.
Five parameters (aspects) of a Drum Set can be modified. To
create your own Drum Set, you will modify these
parameters.
Drum Set Parameters That Can
Be Set
[2] Drum (DRUMS)
DrumSet Name (Drum set name)
You can change the name of the drum set which you created.
The number of characters in names is set at twelve.
Value: space, A--Z, a--z, 0--9, ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = >
? @ [ ¥ ] ^ _ ` { | }
Pitch
Adjusts the pitch of the percussive sound in semitone steps.
Value: -60– +67
Level
Specifies the volume of the percussion instrument sound.
Value: 0–127
Pan
Allows you to set the panning (localization of sound image)
for each sound (obtained only with a stereo output). With an
increase in the value for L, more of the sound will be heard as
coming from the left side. Similarly, more of the sound will
originate at the right if the value of R is increased. When set
to RANDOM, you obtain a specialized effect whereby the
sound randomly moves left and right with each key stroke.
Value: RANDOM, L63–0–63R
Reverb Depth
Adjusts the depth of reverb.
Value: 0–127
