Creating a Sound or Drum Set
Create and Save a Drum Set (User Drum)
A Drum Part has assigned to it a collection of various percussion instrument sounds,
which are called a Drum Set. Unlike a normal Part, a Drum Part sounds a different
instrument for each note number. Since a Drum Part needs to simultaneously pro-
duce a wide variety of sounds, such as bass drum, snare, tom and cymbal, this is very
convenient. A collection of such sounds each assigned to their own note number is
called a
Drum Set
. Each sound within a Drum Set is called a
Drum Instrument
.
(Drum Set List p.187)
On the SC-8850, you can modify various Drum Instrument parameters to get the
drum sounds most suitable for your musical needs. A
parameter
is something that
affects the sound. The process of modifying parameter values is called
editing.
For each instrument (Drum Instrument) of the currently selected Drum Set, you can
modify the values for the Volume, Pan (stereo position), Pitch, Reverb Send Level,
Chorus Send Level, Delay Send Level, and Assign group. These parameter values
are set independently for each Drum Instrument assigned to a note number.
