TIP The balance of each part of the drum kit adjusted here can be saved for

each drum kit.

Changing the tempo

Turn the TEMPO knob to set the tempo of the paern. The tempo seing range is

from 56.0 to 240.0 BPM. The tempo is saved for each program; however, use the

global parameter ("OPERATIONS (Buon 1)" p.45) to set whether to use the tem-

po for each program or to give priority to the tempo with the TEMPO knob turned.

Programs and Drum Kits

Sound source conguration 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 dierent paerns to play (as if assembling a song) by

making a seing to use one drum kit with multiple programs. Conversely, you can play

the same paern with dierent sounds by changing the drum kit used by the program.

15

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 buon to switch to Live mode, you can preview the tone of

each part by pressing buons 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 o the power or recall a dierent program.

turn the parameter knob while holding down the TIME buon. You can also set

each part by pressing the TIME buon while holding down the PART buon.

RATE [Global (only the part setting), 32nd, 16th, 8th]

Changes the playback speed of the paern for the clock. The default is 16th. If the

value is set to 8th, the speed is halved, and if set to 32nd, the speed is doubled.

TRIPLET [Global (only the part setting), OFF, ON]

Turn it on to increase the speed by 1.5 times triplets.

LENGTH [1...64]

Allows you to change the paern length in steps.

Also, you can produce various groove feelings by applying the groove type that re-

produces the swing and the playing style of a typical instrument to the paern data.

Press the TIME buon while holding down the SHIFT buon, and turn the param-

eter knob while holding down the TIME buon. You can also set each part by press-

ing the TIME buon while holding down the SHIFT buon and the PART buon.

TYPE [Global (only the part setting), Swing16, ... , CrescendoHalf]

Select the groove type. The groove type is a 16-step preset template that summa-

rizes the timing and velocity change amount for each step.

17

Swing16: Gives regular swing in 16th note units. Even steps are slower and weak-

er, and odd steps are stronger.

Swing8: Gives regular swing in eighth note units. Makes the back beat to the beginning

of the beat slow and weak, and the front beat strong.

ConstOset: Evenly delays or strengthens all steps.

Conga1, 2, 3: This type simulates the performance of a conga.

Bongo1, 2, 3: This type simulates the performance of a bongo drum.

Cabasa1, 2: This type simulates the performance of a cabasa.

Claves1, 2: This type simulates the performance of claves.

Cowbell: This type simulates the performance of a cowbell.

Agogo1, 2: This type simulates the performance of an agogô.

Tambourine: This type simulates the performance of a tambourine.

Finger1, 2: Gives a bold and tricky swing similar to the sound you can create by nger

drumming, and puts an emphasis on the beginning of the beat.

Lo1, 2: Gives a laid-back sluggishness that slightly delays the beat in sections oth-

er than the beginning of the beat.

Baile1, 2: Gives a plunging groove that strongly accelerates to the rhythm of the

doed eighth notes.

OvalGroove: Gives an elliptical swing that accelerates toward the 1st and 3rd beats

and decelerates toward the 2nd and 4th beats.

Syncopation: Gives a stronger accent to the 16th step compared to the beginning of

the bar.

Crescendo: Gives a change that gradually strengthens and accelerates in 16 steps.

CrescendoHalf: Gives a change that gradually strengthens and accelerates in eight steps.

VELO [-100%...100%]

Sets the amount of change in the velocity strength of the step.

TIP If you select a negative value, you can obtain the opposite eect to the

characteristics of the groove type you selected.

TIME [-100%...100%]

Sets the amount of change in the step timing.

TIP If you select a negative value, you can obtain the opposite eect to the

characteristics of the groove type you selected.

(a) The LEDs on the top indicate the number of bars in the program (16 steps x 4),

and the current position blinks according to the tempo.

18

(b) The LEDs on the boom indicate the bars to be edited. Used for paern editing.

If you press the

<

(YES) buon or

<

(NO) buon, you can change the bar to

be edited (1 ... 4). You can also reduce the number of bars (SHRINK) by pressing

the

<

(YES) buon while holding down the SHIFT buon, and increase the

number of bars (EXPAND) by pressing the

<

(NO) buon while holding down

the SHIFT buon.

TIP In Global mode, you can set how to increase the number of bars for the bar to

EXPAND for the rst time.

The GLOBAL seing does not apply to bars that you have increased previ-

ously.

Editing a Pattern

STEP button (Step entry of notes)

Enter notes in a step. You can enter notes using buons 1 to 16.

You can also edit the sound extensively for each step.

If you hold down buons 1 to 16, the screen below appears. You can edit the target

parameter by turning parameter knobs 1 to 4 while holding down the STEP buon.

PROB. (PROBABILITY) [0%...100%]

Sets the probability that a step will sound.

ALTER. (ALTERNATE) [ALWAYS, ■□, □■, ■□□, ..., ■■□■]

Sets the probability for that step to be played.

[ ■□□ ] means the step is only played on the rst of three cycles, while [ □■■ ]

means the step is played on the second and third of three cycles.

OFFSET [

-

50%...49%]

Sets the oset for the start point of the step.

ACCENT button (Adding an accent to each step)

Sets the accent for each step.

If you hold down buons 1 to 16, the screen below appears. You can edit the target

parameter by turning parameter knobs 1 to 4 while holding down the ACCENT

buon.

ACCENT [1...127]

Sets the accent in 127 steps.

TIP Each time you press buons 1 to 16 several times, you can enter the veloc-

ity value of 32, 64, 96, or 127 as a shortcut.

RATCHET [OFF, 2, 3, 4]

Sets the number of times to hit the step repeatedly.

20

RAMP [Flat, Fall, Rise, Random]

Sets the curve of RATCHET.

Flat: Produces a drum roll at the same volume.

Fall: Produces a drum roll while lowering the volume.

Rise: Produces a drum roll while raising the volume.

Random: Makes the volume of each drum roll random.

MOTION button (Setting the motion for each step)

Set the motion for each step. This unit is capable of recording all parameters for

each step. During MOTION edit, you can record the value of the target parameter

for each step by turning the kit control or parameter knobs 1 to 4 while holding

down buons 1 to 16.

Chain mode

In Chain mode, up to 16 programs can be connected and played in real time.

Use buons 1 to 16 to register the program. Playback is performed in the order of 1 to 16.

Registering a program with CHAIN

1. Press the CHAIN buon to enter Chain mode.

2. Press buons 1 to 16 to display the program selection screen for each buon.

Buons 1 to 16 directly correspond to CHAIN 1 to 16.

3. Turn the parameter knob to select a program in the same way as for the regu-

lar Program Select.

4. Press the PROGRAM SELECT buon to add the program to CHAIN.

Repeat steps 2 to 4 to add the program to CHAIN.

5. Press the (PLAY) buon to play the programs in the order specied by

CHAIN.
