the drum tracks from which the parameter locks will be assigned by pressing [TRACK] + [PADS]. If parameters
from the FX track are to be locked to the scene, press the [FX] key. The parameters available for modulation
and scene assignation will be visible on the LCD screen.
When a scene is edited, the pads of drum tracks containing parameter locks will glow half-bright red and flicker.
The active track, from which parameter locks are currently set, will glow full-bright red. If a scene contains FX
track parameter locks, the FX track red LED will flicker while editing the scene. When the scene pad is pressed
during edit, parameter locks are shown with inverted graphics and their fixed values (provided the particular
track, and the particular parameter page where the locked parameter is located, is active) are also shown.
A total of 48 different parameters may be locked to any of the 12 scenes, in any combination, for each kit. For
example, 48 parameter locks may be used for a single scene, two scenes may use 24 parameter locks each,
four scenes may use, say, 2, 4, 10 and 32 parameter locks, and so on.
The scene of each pad can be copied, pasted to another pad or cleared using [FUNCTION] + [RECORD]/
[STOP]/[PLAY], respectively. SCENE settings are stored to the active kit. Remember to save the kit regularly
with [YES/SAVE] + [FX].
Once the editing is done, simply press the [SCENE] key again to exit scene edit mode. The parameter locks you
entered will be instantly enabled whenever the scene is activated.
• Use a scene if you want to affect the overall impact - overt or subtle - of your kit in a snap. Create
the impression, for example, that your studio drumkit all of a sudden is played in a near vacuum,
shattered by distortion or subject to NY compression (or all three at once) - then back to normal
again.
PERFORMANCE MODE
Enter PERFORMANCE mode by pressing the [PERFORMANCE] key. The PERFORMANCE mode enables
you to tweak one or several parameters, chosen from any track, by applying different amounts of pressure to
any of the [PADS] containing a performance macro.
• By gently increasing the amount of pressure applied to a pad containing a performance macro (or
quickly pressing, and then gently releasing the applied pressure), all intermediate values of the
parameter lock range can be heard while going from one extreme of the modulation depth to the
other.
PERFORMANCE EDIT
Make sure PERFORMANCE mode is active. Press and hold the [PERFORMANCE] key for a short while in
order to enter edit mode.
• When PERFORMANCE mode is active, [FUNCTION] + one of the [PADS] offers a convenient short-
cut to scene edit mode.
There are 12 assignable performance macros available, one for each pad. Select which macro to edit by press-
ing one of the [PADS]. When performance edit is active, the LCD screen left hand side will reveal a list showing,
from the top, the performance macro number, the number of locked parameters, an option to clear the macro
and an option to clear all macros. Use the [ARROW] keys [UP] and [DOWN] to navigate through this list.
