3.4 How to assign "drums" and "non-drums"
tracks
Each of the 99 tracks within a given sequence may individually be assigned
to act as either a "drums" track or a "non-drums" track, but not both
simultaneously.
To assign a track as either a "drums" or "non-drums" track, follow these
simple rules:
• To assign a track to be a "drums" track: Set the track's midi output
channel number (the CH field in the PLAY/R,ECORD screen) to 16 (A,
B, C, or D), which is the midi channel number normally assigned to the
internal drums. Once a track has been recorded as a "drums" track, DO
NOT change its midi output channel assignment from 16, unless you have
erased all the notes in the track first. The internal drum generator plays all
notes received on channel 16, regardless of the assigned output midi jack
(A, B, C, or D). In this case, the output jack selection is only used to
determine which output jack will be used to send out midi note commands
when the drums play.
• To assign a track as a "non-drums" track: Set the track's output midi
channel (the CH field in the PLAY/RECORD screen) to any channel other
than 16 (A, B, C, or D). Once a track has been recorded as a "non-drums"
track, DO NOT change its midi output channel assignment to 16, unless
you have erased all the notes in the track first.
Note: Although the internal drums normally receive their data on channel 16
(A, B, C, or D), this may be changed to any other channel. If you change it,
then use this new assignment in place of 16 in the above two paragraphs.
This is explained further in section 9.3.
A more technical explanation:
In a "non-drums" track, incoming midi note numbers are stored in the
sequence exactly as they are received. However, in a "drums" track,
incoming midi note numbers (if the drums are played from an external
keyboard) are converted by the "Assign incoming notes to drums" function
to numbers 0 through 31, representing the 32 drums, and stored in the
sequence as those 32 midi note numbers. When the sequence is played back,
these numbers (0 - 31) are converted to selected midi note numbers within
the keyboard range by the "Assign outgoing drums to notes" function and
output in that
