ALTERNATE GROUP
JOB 5
Summary: Specifies drum elements which may not
sound at the same time.
Settings: On, Off
Procedure: Select the drum element to be edited
(C1 ... C6) by pressing the appropriate key on
the keyboard.
It is also possible to select the drum element
to be edited by moving the cursor to the key
name position by pressing the key and then
using the [DATA ENTRY] control, [-1/NO] and
[+1/YES] keys, or numeric and [ENTER] keys.
Once the desired drum element has been se-
lected, use the and cursor keys to move
the cursor to the alternate group parameter.
Use the [DATA ENTRY] control or [+1/YES]
and [-1/NO] keys to turn alternate grouping "on"
or "off."
Details: In a real drum set, you would never hear
the sound of a closed hi-hat at the same time as
the open hi-hat. If you turn alternate group "on"
for both of these instruments (which are really
different sounds produced by the same instru-
ment), the closed and open hi-hat elements will
not sound together even if their keys are played
at the same time.
This also means that you can play the open
hi-hat, then "close" the hi-hat before the open
hi-hat sound ends by playing the closed hi-hat
key.
PANNING
JOB 6

sound field in which the sound from each drum
element will be heard (left to right).
Settings: -31 ... +31
Procedure: Select the drum element to be edited

the keyboard.
It is also possible to select the drum element

name position by pressing the key and then
using the [DATA ENTRY] control or [+1/YES]
and [-1/NO] keys.
Once the desired drum element has been se-
lected, use the and cursor keys to move
the cursor to the pan parameter.

Use the [DATA ENTRY] control, [-1/NO] and
[+1/YES] keys, or numeric and [ENTER] keys to
set the desired pan value.
The upper line of the display also shows a
graphic representation of the stereo sound field
with "L" representing "left" and "R" represent-
ing "right." As you change the pan value the
vertical bar will appear at the corresponding
position on the graphic display.
Details: Minus values represent panning to the left,
and positive values represent panning to the
right. "0" positions the sound of the selected
drum element in the center of the stereo sound
field.
