Chapter 1. Before You Create Rhythms
This chapter provides a basic overview of the DR-770.
Drum Kits and Pad Banks
Drum kits
A drum kit is a set of 55 instruments selected from the 255 onboard instruments
(instrumental sounds). The 55 instruments are assigned a number (
pad number
) in the
range of 1–55.

- The DR-770 has 64 preset drum kits (numbers 1–64), and 64 user drum kits, which you
are free to modify (numbers 65–128).
- You may edit the sound (volume, pitch, etc.) of instruments that are assigned to a user
drum kit, which means that you can use them as new instruments in addition to the
built-in instruments.
- On the DR-770, only one drum kit can be used when creating a pattern. It is not
possible to use multiple drum kits in a single pattern.
- A pattern records the number of the drum kit that was used to create that pattern.
This means that if you play back a different pattern, the drum kit will also be changed.
Pad Bank
A pad bank is a group of settings that assigns a drum kit instrument to each of the sixteen
pads. There are two pad banks: A and B.
