one of the four effect buses. Effects settings, Effect Level and Bus information is

saved with the Program when you store it back into memory.

Drum Mode

Any one or all of the four sounds in a Program can be put in Drum Mode. The Drum

Mode parameter is found in the Misc. Function (see last section of this chapter). Note

that Drum Mode isn’t the only way to hear drums or percussion from a Program. In

Standard mode, if you select a kit (such as “Rock Kit 1”) as the voice of a Program

sound, an entire arrangement of preset, pre-mapped drum sounds will be assigned

across the keyboard. If you select a single drum (such as “Tympani”) as the voice,

that single drum sound will sound across the keyboard range, with a different pitch on

each note (the original sample pitch will appear on C3).

However, Drum Mode changes the nature of the ASSIGN VOICE function, allowing

you to make up your own drum kit from a selection of over 80 different samples: 7

kicks, 8 snares, 4 hi-hats, 14 toms, 5 cymbals, 31 percussion, 17 percussion effects

and 3 synth waves. Plus, there are 44 rhythm beats to choose from (pre-sequenced

drum grooves). You can map any of these samples to any note on the keyboard that

does not already have a drum assigned to it in that layer. When a sound is in Drum

Mode, you can assign 10 different drum sounds to 10 different keys in that layer. If all

four sounds in a Program are placed in Drum Mode, you could assemble 40 drum

sounds. In Drum mode, individual drums cannot be “stretched” across a wide range

of the keyboard -- each occupies up to 4 keys.

Each of the 10 drum sounds has its own set of parameters in each of the functions in

the display (Pitch, Filter, Range, Effects Level, etc.). You can use Quad Knob [4] in

each Function page to select which one of the 10 drum sounds to edit.

Here is a block diagram of a sound in Drum Mode.
