Editing an Instrument’s
Settings (EDIT)
Here’s how to edit the settings of an instrument.
The procedure will dier depending on the type of
instrument.
Editing Acoustic Drum Sounds
(V-EDIT)
What is V-EDIT?
This is a function that allows you to simulate the tonal
changes produced by dierences in the material, shape,
and size of an instrument. By choosing and tuning a
favorite head, or attaching muing (a mute), you can
create your sound in an intuitive way just as when
adjusting an acoustic drum.
When V-EDIT can be used
V-EDIT is possible in the following instrument groups
“KICK,” “SNARE,” “TOM,” “HI-HAT,” “CRASH,” “SPLASH,”
“CHINA,” “STACKED CYMBAL,” or “RIDE.”
The following icon appears to indicate instruments
which are V-EDIT compatible.
Editing Other Instruments
You can edit instrument’s settings such as the “Pitch,”
“Decay Time,” and “Dynamic Pitch Bend” (p. 59).
Editing Procedure
1. Press the [INST] button.
2. Press the [F2] (EDIT) button.
INST EDIT screen will appear.
3. Select the pad that you want to edit.
Strike the desired pad, or use the TRIG SELECT buttons
to select it.
The edit screen for the selected pad will appear.
4. Use the [F1]–[F4] and cursor [ ] [ ] buttons to
select the parameter.
5. Use the [–] [+] buttons or the dial to adjust the
setting.
6. When nished, press the [EXIT] button to return
to the INST screen.
MEMO
• You can return the settings of the currently selected
instrument to their standard values.
Press the [F4] button in the INST screen, or hold
down the [SHIFT] button in the INST EDIT screen;
a conrmation message will appear. Press the [F5]
(EXECUTE) button to return the instrument settings
to the standard values for that instrument.
• You can edit the head and rim instruments as a
pair. Each time you press the [F5] (H&R) button, you
will alternate between editing the head and rim
simultaneously or separately. However if instruments
from dierent instrument groups are selected for the
head and the rim, they will be edited separately even
if you’ve turned on the [F5] (H&R) button. This setting
is shown by the “HEAD” and “RIM” icons in the upper
left of the screen.
* For some instruments, raising or lowering the value
beyond a certain point may not produce further
change.
• KICK/SNARE/TOM: “Head Tuning”
• CRASH/SPLASH/CHINA/STACKED CYMBAL/RIDE:
“Sustain”
• Other Instruments: “Pitch,” “Decay Time,” and
“Dynamic Pitch Bend.”
