L EVEL
Each of the 10 drums in a sound can have its own level, pan position, and output
assignment. The Level function (press [50]) provides these controls. Use page 1 to
adjust the selected drum’s level (00 to 99), page 2 to adjust pan position (<3 to >3),
page 3 to select the Output assignment (Main, Aux or Off). Page 4 lets you adjust the
Effect Send level (00 to 99), and page 5 lets you select the Effects Bus (1, 2, 3 or 4).
TIP: To send a drum to an individual output, use Output in conjunction with Pan. Example:
Panning a drum full left and selecting the Aux outputs means that the drum will
appear at only the left Aux output.
P ITCH
The Pitch function (press [60]) lets you transpose the selected drum up or down one
octave in micro-step (1/4th of a half step) increments, and lets you modulate the
drum’s pitch with velocity.
Tune (-12.00 to +12.00) Page 1
Determines the tuning of the selected drum (±12.00).
Velocity>Pitch (0 to 7) Page 2
Selects how much velocity will affect the selected drum’s tuning (0-7). When this
value is set to 7, the drum will be played sharp when the associated note is played
hard; when played soft, the drum’s tuning will be unaltered.
F ILTER
Velocity>Filter (0 to 3) Page 1
The Filter function (press [70]) lets you control the “brightness” of the selected drum
by modulating the filter frequency with velocity. When set to 3, playing the associated
note will result in a brighter sound (more high frequencies), while playing softer will
