4.9 PAGE 9: MANUAL DRUM SET OVERRIDE (SET MODE)

DRUM SET
Note: If changing Patterns doesn't call up different Drum Sets, this parameter is probably set

Background Each Pattern has an associated, assigned Drum Set. However, you can tell the SR-16 to ignore
these stored assignments, and retain the currently selected Drum Set regardless of whether or not you change
Patterns. This is useful if you want to hear how a Pattern would sound with a different Drum Set (just set one up
manually) as opposed to the one stored with the Pattern.
