Sound source configuration of this unit
This unit provides 11 voices in total: Four analog sound sources (BD, SD, LT, HT)
with the basic drum tones, six digital sound sources (CH, OH, RS, CP, SP1, SP2),
and multi-sound sources (VPM, NOISE, USER). You can put your own sample in
the digital sound source parts. You can select one of the three multi-sound sources.
What is the drum kit?
A "drum kit" is constituted of the parameter values of all 13 parts. The drumlogue
can store up to 128 drum kits (16 kits for each BANK A to H).
The information about which drum kit you are using is stored in the program of
this unit. Information about tuning, decay, and timbre of each part is stored on
the drum kit side. At the time of shipment from the factory, each program uses the
same bank and the same drum kit number, and the tone parameters are automati-
cally saved in the drum kit when the program is saved.
You can switch the same sound with different patterns to play (as if assembling a song) by
making a setting to use one drum kit with multiple programs. Conversely, you can play
the same pattern with different sounds by changing the drum kit used by the program.
How to make a sound
There are two ways to make sounds.
• Select an existing drum kit that has a sound close to the one you want to create,
and then partially edit using that drum kit as the base to achieve the desired sound.
• Create your own sound from a drum kit in its initial state.
Sound creation is performed by changing the basic parameters (kit controls) and
detailed parameters (parameter knobs 1 to 4). Adjust the volume of each part using
the corresponding knobs in the mixer section.
If you press the LIVE button to switch to Live mode, you can preview the tone of
each part by pressing buttons 1 to 13. First, let's check what kind of sound is made
in Live mode.
We recommend that you save the edited drum kits and programs to this
instrument as soon as possible. Any edits that you make will be lost if you
turn off the power or recall a different program.
