Pressing Kit then pressing F1 (MIX) can access this screen. It shows an 

overview of the SD1250 kit with the current volume settings for each 

drum and cymbal. When ‘Follow Trigger’ is enabled, hitting a drum, 

rim or cymbal will select it for volume adjustment using the large dial 

or fl/– buttons. To disable the ‘Follow Trigger’ function, press 

‘Utility’ then ‘Trigger (F1)’ then switch ‘Follow Trigger’ off.

You can also use the cursor up or down buttons to select the onscreen 

drum or cymbal you want to adjust the volume, which becomes 

highlighted in red.

Just like volume editing above, if ‘Follow Trigger’ is enabled, then 

hitting a drum or cymbal selects it, or you can use Cursor up or down.

placement of the sound of that drum or cymbal.

•  “C” indicates the sound is centered

•  “L” indicates the sound is left of center, with the range of L01  

(just left of center) to L64 (far left). 

“R” indicates the sound is right of center, with the range of R01  

(just right of center) to R63 (far right). 

KIT INSTRUMENT EFFECTS SEND SETTINGS

The effects screen is accessed by pressing Kit, then F1 (MIX), then F3 

(EFFECTS). Just like volume and pan editing, if ‘Follow Trigger’

is enabled, then hitting a drum or cymbal selects it, or you can use 

Cursor up or down. Then the large dial and flanking -/+ buttons to 

adjust the amount of effect to be applied to that drum or cymbal. To 

disable the ‘Follow Trigger’ function, press ‘utility’ then ‘trigger (F1)’ 

then switch ‘Follow Trigger’ off.

configuration may vary from these images.
