Drum

Drum/Percussion track. Set a track to Drum
mode if you wish to separately adjust the volume
and set a different output for each percussive
family of the assigned Drum Kit Sound. (See
“Track Controls: Drum Edit” on page 102).

Note:

Drum Kits are not affected by transpose

whichever the type of track they are assigned to.

Hint:

Set a track to Drum mode if you don’t want

the assigned Sound to be transposed (it will behave
as a Drum Kit).

Tracks set to Drum mode in Style Record (see

“Track Type” on page 219) cannot be edited here.
This option appears in grey. Other Style tracks can-
not be set to Drum mode here.

Track Controls: Drum Edit

In this page you can adjust the volume and edit the main param-
eters for each

family

of Drum and Percussion instrument for the

selected track. A list of families is shown below.

These parameters can be accessed only on tracks set to the Drum
mode (see above). Use them on tracks with a Drum Kit assigned,
or you will not be able to hear any change.

Hint:

Use the TRACK SELECT button to cycle between the track

groups. After selecting a track, choose the “Solo Track” command
from the page menu to avoid listening to the other tracks during
editing.

Note:

All values are offsets referred to the value of the original

Sounds.

Family Select

Use these icons/buttons to select the drum family you want to
edit. These buttons are only accessible when you select a Drum
track.

Overview of the current parameter

Under the icons of the Drum families you can see the value of
the selected parameter for all the families. This will let you com-
pare the value of the selected family with all the others. The val-
ues are shown in grey (non editable).
