Using Drum Kits Saving Drum Kits
Controlling pan for each key
To use separate pan settings for each key:
1. In Program mode, go to the Amp1/Driver1 tab of
the Amp/EQ page.
2. Under Pan, make sure that the Use DKit Setting
check‐box is checked.
When Use DKit Setting is on, the Program will use the
pan settings for each key of the Drum Kit.
3. In Global mode, go to the Voice Mixer tab of the
Drum Kit page.
4. Use the Pan parameter to specify the key’s stereo
output position.
Double Drum Programs
Double Drum Programs let you layer two Drum Kits
together. Most often, these will be close‐mic’d and
ambient versions of the same acoustic drums, so that
you can control the balance between the two. You
could also use this for creative layering and special
effects, of course!
Everything else about Double Drum Programs is the
same as for Single Drum Programs.
Saving Drum Kits
Once you’ve spent all this time editing, you’ll want to
save your work. To save your Drum Kit edits:
1. Select the Write Drum Kit command from the page
menu, at the upper right‐hand corner of the screen.
This brings up a dialog box which allows you to save
the Drum Kit. Optionally, you can also select a new
location, or change the Drum Kit’s name.
2. Press the “T” button to bring up the text edit
dialog.
You can give the Drum Kit a descriptive name using
the on‐screen keyboard.
3. After entering the name, press OK.
The text edit window will disappear, returning you to
the main Save dialog.
4. Press the popup button next to Drum Kit to bring
up the save location dialog.
5. Select a location to save the edited Drum Kit.
To avoid overwriting the factory sounds, it’s safer to
use a slot in one of the seven USER banks.
Note that although you can edit General MIDI kits, you
can only save these edits to locations in the INT or
USER banks. The original GM kits cannot be overwritten.
6. After selecting the location, press OK.
7. Press OK again to start the write process.
8. If you’re sure you want to write to this location,
press OK again.
After that, you’re done!
Do not turn off the power for at least 10 seconds
after writing the Drum Kit data. This allows the
system time to complete the process, which includes
saving a backup of the data to the internal disk.
