DRUM VOLUME

will instantly be set at 50.
A TIP FROM LOWREY
The Sterling not only gives you the ability to control the volume of the Drum section, it also gives you the
ability to “Balance” the drum sounds. For example, any particular drum pattern might include a snare drum
and a cymbal. The Volume control raises and lowers the volume of these two sounds simultaneously. The
Balance feature allows you to control the volume of each sound separately so the snare drum could be made
softer while keeping the volume of the cymbal unchanged. For details on levels and balance see Feature
Page1 on page 100.

ALL ORGAN RHYTHM STYLES
Each Sterling Rhythm Style can be played as an elegant-sounding
ALL-ORGAN
STYLE
, giving you yet another Variation from which to choose.
All of the elements within the style (the orchestration) become organ-type
sounds.
