FXpansion Japanese Taiko Percussion - Manual (Page 13)

Grooves and Kit-Piece Slots
Important : Before using JTP grooves, either load the “JTP Taiko” key map or load the “JTP
Taiko” or “JTP Taiko Low Tuning” kit.
BFD2 grooves are key-piece-slot dependent. This means that JTP grooves (whether from the
expansion pack or from Grooves for Japanese Taiko Percussion) will not play back correctly if you
have loaded kit pieces into arbitrary kit-piece slots.
Mixer Presets
Important : The initial mix may be too loud after loading one of the JTP taiko kits since each kit
piece will play back at its originally recorded volume. We recommend that you either load a JTP
mixer preset or adjust the mix on the Mixer Page.
JTP comes with two mixer presets tailored for the fullest taiko ensemble sound. We recommend
that you begin mixing from these settings. You can save and load mixer presets at any time to return
to your favorite mic settings.
JTP Taiko: mixer preset for the most natural reproduction of the expansion library’s sounds
JTP Taiko Low Tuning: mixer preset tailored for the JTP Taiko Low Tuning kit
Please see the BFD2 manual for instructions on how to load mixer presets and operate the mixer.
Individual Kit Pieces
Each kit piece contains its own basic settings, in case you load only a specific kit piece.
