6.5 Playing, customising and accompanying songs
Your digital drum module provides 80 preprogrammed songs. You can play the
songs and accompany them on the drum module. A song contains a drum part (con‐
taining the rhythm in which you play the pads) and an accompaniment part (percus‐
sion and melody). The volume of both parts can be adjusted separately.
