BASIC OPERATIONS AND
NAVIGATION
The SD2000 works primarily in the Kit, Song and Utility modes. In Kit
Mode, you select the drum kit you want to play, and edit the kits and
sounds within it.
SELECTING MODES
To select a Mode press the Kit, Song or Utility buttons on the left side
of the module.
SELECTING KITS
To select Kits make sure you are in the Kit mode by pressing the Kit
button. The LCD screen should display a drum kit.
You can now select a kit by turning the large dial in the middle of the
module, or you can step through the kits using the dial –/+buttons
that flank that dial.
ADJUSTING KIT SETTINGS
To change the kit settings shown immediately below the kit name,
press the Cursor g button and you’ll select the Kit Volume, which
you can now adjust via the large dial and flanking –/+ buttons Further
presses of Cursor g or f buttons will select the other settings, or
again select the Kit Name for dial and –/+ control.
JUMPING BACK TO KIT SELECTION
You can quickly jump back to kit selection by pressing the Kit button
anytime, then turn the dial or use the flanking –/+ buttons.
FUNCTION BUTTONS
The Function buttons below the screen allow you to go to other
screens for further editing, or execute other functions related to the
current screen and mode.
ADVANCED OPERATIONS
EDITING A DRUM KIT
Any changes you make to any kits are retained as you switch amongst
kits, but they won’t be saved if you turn off the module. To save an
edited kit so it will be available after power up, you must store it to a
User location. See the Saving a Kit section for instructions.
KIT REVERB AND EQ SETTINGS
Each kit has its own Reverb and EQ settings. The main settings for the
EQ and Reverb are on the Main screen of Kit mode, shown when you
press the Kit button.
To change the settings use the cursor buttons to move to the setting
you want to change, then use the large dial or the - /+ buttons to
make your adjustment.
P TEMPO AND LEVEL
This sets the tempo and level settings for any Pattern Play patterns
assigned to the kit.
CHANGING KIT MIX SETTINGS
Each kit has its own Mix settings. On the main Kit screen (shown when
you press the Kit button), the F1 function button is labeled MIX. Press
F1 to see the current volume settings, and get access to pan, effects
and pattern settings as well.
Please Note: When viewing and changing mix
settings, the kit will be slow to trigger sounds as
you hit drums and cymbals. You can quickly restore
normal responsiveness by pressing F5, labeled
BACK, to return to the main Kit screen.
