Now let's edit the snare sound, changing it over the course of the whole bar.
„Solo" the sanre Drum by turning down the Bass and Hat volume controls.
Push the Snare Drum pad and -while holding it down- push the „Write" button
(both Snare Drum pad and Write button flash).
Now start turning the snare Drum sound controls. Keep turning until you find a
sound you like. That sound is now being written into the Pattern.
Now for some real fun:
While you are still in this mode (Snare pad and Write lights blinking), turn the
Snare tune knob all the way counter-clockwise (Snare is at lowest possible
pitch). You may choose to slow the tempo down to make this next move. Here we
go... keep your hand on the Snare Tune knob, and when the bar begins, move the
knob clockwise (turning up the pitch of the snare) so that at the end of the
bar, the snare is near ist highest pitch. You can practice this until you get a
good „preformance". Once you have a good performance of tuning up the pitch, hit
the „Write" button at the end of the bar, before the bar starts over so that you
come out of the „record" mode! Your „performance" will now be stored with the
Pattern! (If you don't like your performance, hit the Write button, then push
the Snare Drum pad again and -while hoding it down- push the Write button again
and try again).
You will notice when you hit the Write button at the end of that last move, its
light went out. Hit the Write button to activate the write mode again. Hit the
Snare Drum pad so that ist light blinks. Now, while holding down the Snare pad,
hit Note button 9 twice and then Note button 11 twice. These two Note buttons
should be blinking. Turn the Snare Tune knob all the way up, turn XSnapp, Dacay,
Noise Tune and Detune knobs all the way down. Now the snare sounds like a
cowbell! Hit Note button 11 twice to take it „out of record", turn the Snare
Tune knob down so that Note 9 will have a different pitch than note 11. Now hit
Note button 9 twice to take it out of record. If you want, hit the Accent pad
and select Notes 9 and 11 to increase the volume of those cowbell hits.
Let's get crazier !
Now let's look into the HiHat section:
„solo" the Hi Hat by turning down the Bass and Snare volume controls.
Hit the Closed Hi Hat pad. At this point, Notes 7, 11, 15 are lit. Make sure the
Write light is lit, but not blinking.
Now select Notes 9 and 10 by hitting those Note buttons.
Hit the shift button (lower right) and the Note button 13 (notice that below
this Note button it says „HH sample select"). Using the Up/Down buttons, scroll
to where the display says „CLP". now select Note buttons 9 and 10 and hit the
„Enter" button. Those notes change to a 909 Rim sound.
Now hold down the Closed Hi Hat pad and -while holding it down- hit Note buttons
9 and 10 twice... both Note Buttons 9 and 10 should be blinking. Now turn the Hi
Hat Tune knob and select a pitch for the Rim. Once you've got a good pitch, hit
buttons 9 and 10 twice each again to take them out of record. If you'd like
either of those, hit louder, hit the Accent pad and select 9 and/or 19. Hit the
Accent button again to come out of Accent mode.
Now, push the Open Hi Hat pad. Select Note buttons 1 and 13. Press Shift, and
while holding it down, hit Button 13 again. Use Up/Down to scroll to „CLP". Hit
Button 13 to light it, then hit the Enter Button. Note 13 becomes a Clap. By
hitting the Accent mode, you can choose Button 13 to make the claps louder.
(Remember to hit the Accent pad again to come out of Accent). Now hold down the
Open Hi Hat pad and hit button 13 twice. Use the Hi Hat Tune knob and the OH
Decay knob to find a clap sound you like. Once you've found it, hit button 13
twice to deselect it from recording.
Now push the Shift button, hold it down and hit Note button 13 again. Use the
Up/Down keys to scroll until the display reads „CrH", then hit Note button 1 and
„Enter". There is now a crash cymbal on Note 1.
