Drum Kit List

• “ 

 ” indicates that the drum sound is the same as “Standard Kit 1”.

• Each percussion voice uses one note.
• The MIDI Note # and Note are actually one octave lower than keyboard 

Note # and Note. For example, in “109: Standard Kit 1”, the “Seq Click H” 
(Note# 36/Note C1) corresponds to (Note# 24/Note C0).

• Key Off: Keys marked “O” stop sounding the instant they are released.
• Voices with the same Alternate Note Number (*1 – 4) cannot be played 

simultaneously. (They are designed to be played alternately with each 
other.)

Voice No.
