These settings specify the range of keys and velocities
that will trigger the Drum Track pattern when you play
the keyboard (or receive a note-on).
Selecting a Drum Track program
Here’s how to select the Drum Track program. You can
also make this selection in the Prog P0: Play– Main
page (see page 186), but the DrumTrk Program page
also allows you to specify the EQ, detuning, and bus in
addition to selecting the program.
1. Access the Prog P1: Basic/DT/Ctrls– DrumTrk
Program page.
2. Use “Program (Select)” to select a drum program.
Note: You can only select programs of category number
15 (Drums).
3. Use “Volume” to specify the volume of the Drum
Track program.
4. Use “Detune” to adjust the pitch in units of one
cent. One cent is 1/100th of a semitone. This
adjusts the overall pitch of the Drum Track
program.
Note: You can adjust the pitch of each drum kit in
Global P5: Drum Kit.
EQ adjustments for the Drum Track program
You can adjust a three-band EQ for the Drum Track
program.
If you turn “Auto Load Program EQ” on (selected), the
three-band EQ settings specified for the program will
be automatically loaded when you switch Drum Track
programs. Normally you will leave this selected.
You are free to adjust the three-band EQ settings that
are loaded automatically. These adjustments are
applied relative to the original settings of the program.
MIDI transmission and reception for the
drum track
In Program mode, the Drum Track function transmits
and receives on the following MIDI channels.
Receive: If you’re controlling the triggering by playing
the keyboard, the drum track will receive on the global
MIDI channel.
Transmit: The drum track will transmit on the MIDI
channel specified by Drum Track Prog MIDI Ch
(default: channel 10). (Note data etc. of the Drum Track
program will be transmitted.)
Note: MIDI transmission of the pattern data is enabled
if Drum Track Prog MIDI Out (Global 1–1a) is
selected. The default setting is off (unselected).
The Drum Track program does not transmit or receive
program changes.
Drum Track function settings
in Combination mode

have a dedicated track for the Drum Track function.
You’ll need to specify a timbre 1–16 as the one for use
by the Drum Track program.

to match the timbre’s MIDI channel MIDI
