Using a Pad to Play a Roll
You can play a “roll” (a succession of evenly spaced notes)
on an instrument.
1.
Hold down [ROLL/FLAM], and press and hold a pad.
Changing the Roll Settings
You can adjust the spacing (density) of the roll. This setting
also allows you to play a
flam .
MEMO
Flam is a performance technique in which the sticks held in
both hands are used to strike the same drum (snare, etc.)
with a slight difference in timing and force.
1.
Press [UTILITY] to get the display to read “UTILITY.”
The DR-770 is now in Utility mode.
2.
Use [ ] [ ] to select “1 ROLL TYPE.”

Use [VALUE*] to set the interval of the roll.
To produce a flam, use [DEC] [INC] or [VALUE] to select
“FL.”

Modifying the Flam Settings
When ROLL TYPE is set to Flam, you can modify the Flam
Interval and Flam Ratio to change the way that the flam is
played.
Flam Interval (0–31)
This sets the interval of time that will elapse between the two
notes of the flam. With a setting of 0 there will be no flam.
Flam Ratio (0–7)
This sets the ratio of striking force (velocity) between the first
and second strikes. With a setting of 0, the ornamental note
will not sound.
