12 2nd Functions
Each of the 16
(Step)
buttons corresponds to a second function. When you press the
(Shift/Cancel)
button, all 16 red LEDs flash. By pressing the desired
(Step)
button
you can enter the desired menu. The printed text on the red strip below the
(Step)
buttons informs you of their assigned function.
To cancel the shift function press
(Shift/Cancel)
again, and the display reads
“Command aborted“. The LEDs stop flashing and after about 2 seconds the menu
returns to the previous menu.
Note: some of the pattern-related functions were already described in chapter 11 The
Sequencer and are listed here as well.
12.1 Store Kit (1)
With this function you store the current drum kit to a memory location. All sound
parameters are just edited in a volatile buffer. To keep this edit buffer in permanent
memory, you have to store it to memory by the Store Kit function.
Press
(Shift/Cancel)
- all 16 step LEDs start to blink - then select
(Step 1)
= Store
Kit. The display shows:
Store Kit OOO
Now you have the choice to either store immediately by pressing
(Enter)
, or to store
the edits you have made to another location. This is basically a copy function because
the source Kit in the upper line will not be overwritten in this case (also you don't have
to make edits, just open the Store Kit function on a Kit you wish to copy). As soon as
you turn the
(Data)
wheel or press the
(Up/Down)
buttons, the display shows the
destination:
Store to: OOO
OO1
If you press (
Enter)
, the kit gets stored to permanent flash memory.
The display monitors the progress of flash programming.
