Page 9 / TEMPO SELECTION (TEMPO)<br />
This function describes how the <strong>XR20</strong> will use tempo data when playing back Patterns.<br />
If you choose GLOBAL, the <strong>XR20</strong> will use a global<br />
tempo setting and will ignore any tempo data associated<br />
with a Pattern.<br />
If you choose PERPAT, the <strong>XR20</strong> will use the tempo<br />
data stored with each Pattern. For example, if Pattern<br />
01’s tempo is set to 90 and Pattern 02’s tempo is set to<br />
120, the <strong>XR20</strong> will increase the tempo when switching<br />
from Pattern 01 to Pattern 02.<br />
Page 10 / MAP DRUM NOTES (NOTE MAP)<br />
Within each Pattern, MIDI notes can either be mapped<br />
to 12 different sounds in NORMAL mode, or they can be<br />
mapped to any of five drumset groups (User Drumsets<br />
00-09, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, etc ) in MULTI-DRUMSET<br />
mode.<br />
Any of these drumset groups can cover MIDI notes 000<br />
through 119. This makes the <strong>XR20</strong> ideal for use as a<br />
drum sound module, triggered by either an electronic<br />
drum kit or set of electronic drum pads, or by notes from<br />
a sequencer.<br />
Note that while in this mode, you cannot record notes into a Pattern via MIDI. It is assumed that<br />
you will be using the <strong>XR20</strong> strictly as a drum sound expander module.<br />
The chart on the following page shows which drum pads of which drum sets are triggered by<br />
which MIDI notes. The logic to this assignment is that there are 12 drum pads per octave of<br />
notes, so pad 1 always starts on a C note (MIDI notes 000, 012, 024, 036, 048, 060, 072, 084,<br />
096, and 108). Remember that these drum assignments must be saved as Drum Sets in order to<br />
retain the note map assignments.<br />
