This determines the Drum Voice’s decay time (the time it
takes the sound to fade out after being produced).
Use the [
>
] button to call up the KIT6 page, then rotate the
jog dial to set the decay (-64–0–+63). Positive values produce
a crisper sound.

ting)
This determines the filter’s cutoff frequency to change the
Drum Voice’s character (brightness).
Use the [
>
] button to call up the KIT7 page, then rotate the
jog dial to set the cutoff frequency (-64–0–+63). Positive val-
ues produce a brighter sound.

Set the MIDI Note Number
This determines the MIDI Note Number that is transmitted
when a signal is received from the input source. This affects
which particular percussion or drum sound of a voice will
play on a connected MIDI device.
Use the [

jog dial to set the MIDI Note Number (0–127). Displays the
note number and note name (C-2–G8).
* When the selected MIDI Note Number has already been
assigned to another input source, an asterisk “

” will be dis-
played next to “
Note=
.”
* If the same MIDI Note Number is set to more than one pad
within the same Drum Kit, the lowest numbered Input Source
will take priority. In the case of the duplicate input sources,
the same voice will be output.
If the setting is not available because of an already assigned
MIDI note number, “
(Note# in use)
” or “
(# in
use)
” is shown in the lower half of the display.

note on data that is transmitted when a signal is received from

jog dial to set the MIDI Transmit Channel (1–16).
