Background The SR-16 has two pairs of stereo outputs. Drum sounds can be assigned to either pair of outputs
(Page 7), and be placed anywhere within the stereo field of the assigned outputs via the pan function.
When heard from the drummer's perspective, the high-hat will usually be on the left, snare and kick in the center,
and toms trailing from left-center to right. Of course, one of the advantages of electronic drum sets is that you need
not follow any standard way of placing drum sounds in the stereo field.
