KIT (STANDARD1…SFX2)
There are 11 drum kits available, from which you can choose a
maximum of four instruments for each pattern. Use the +/- Value
buttons to select the drum kit from which you want to use drum sounds.
STEPS (1…16)
Here is where you select the actual step in the pattern you want to
edit. Every step can contain 4 drum sounds with 3 different dynamic
levels. The larger the number of steps you set with this parameter, the
finer the resolution of your pattern will be. You can also set values for
uneven meters. The value of 12, for example, will result in 3/4 time
with a resolution of 16th notes.
DRUM INSTRUMENT (1…4)
Choose a drum instrument from the list of drum sounds available in
the presently active drum kit and press the ENTER button to begin
editing. In the bottom half of the display appears a dotted line with a
cursor whose position is dependent upon the individual steps (see
STEPS). You can move the cursor to the left or right by using the +/
- Parameter buttons. Use the +/- Value buttons to then add an accent
at the proper step position. You will see a small vertical bar at that
position. Press the +/- Value buttons repeatedly to increase or decrease
the strength of the accent, visible in the display as a thicker or thinner
bar. You can make the accent so weak that it disappears altogether.
When you are finished, press the EXIT button. You can of course
repeat this process for the 3 other instruments you have selected for
the pattern. A further press of the EXIT button takes you out of the
PATTERN EDITOR. The flashing display signals you that you have
changed a pattern but have not yet saved it. Press STORE to save the
pattern to battery-backed-up RAM.

Track Editor (1…8)
With the help of this sub menu, you can use the Track Editor for drum
sequences to create up to 8 tracks that can be accessed from PRESET
MODE by pressing the hold pedal. A track sequence contains up to
32 steps in which your own programmed patterns can be combined in
any order or repeated as desired. Use the +/- Value buttons to select
the desired track number and press the ENTER button to begin editing.
Press the EXIT button when finished. The following is a description
of the parameters in the sub menu:
