Drum Map
This parameter determines the layout of percussion timbres in drum programs ( Unlike other
programs, drums or percussion programs should consist various percussion instruments within
a single patch ). You can select either General MIDI style layout ( GM ) or Kurzweil style layout
( KRZ ) with [+/Yes] and [ ‐ / No] button like < Figure 5 ‐ 5 >. The default setting is KRZ.

Entry Values
You can assign initial values for controllers if necessary. For example, when changing setups
between songs at a gig, you want to specify initial settings for any controller such as effect wet /
dry level or volume setting for each setup. You can activate this feature by setting the Entry
Value parameter to ON. ( See < Figure 5 ‐ 6 >. ) The default state is OFF. There are a few
important points you need to understand about Entry Values.
< Figure 5-6 >
Crossing the Entry Value
Suppose that Knob A happens to be all the way to the left when you select a new setup and the
entry value assigned to Knob A is 95. You don’t want it to suddenly jump to the current value.
Since the knob is all the way down ( sending a MIDI Controller message with a value of 0 ), it
would jump to a value close to 0. If Knob A controls effect wet/dry mix level, the moment you
move the knob, the effect would suddenly disappear.
This is very common problem with generic MIDI controllers. To avoid this problem, the SP2 is
designed so that once you set an entry value for a physical controller, it won’t become active
until you pass the point of the entry value. So, in the previous example, as you move Knob A up,
nothing happens until you reach 95. At that point, the sliders begins to send MIDI controller
message.
Avoid Extra Controller Motion
Now suppose you want to have a piano ‐ and ‐ strings setup with chorus effect, but you don’t
want to hear the effect at all when you select the setup. Instead, you want to bring it in later. To
do this, you could set the entry value for Knob A in Zone 1 to 0.
