the edit menu. To hear what you are doing, you can either work with
a running sequencer or go back to Perform Play Mode by pressing
the
(Write)
button again and trigger the
(Instruments)
keys of the
last selection manually. The selected instrument edit region will stay
in play mode unless you re-establish the Write Mode which
automatically selects bass drum first.
So if you want to edit a desired instrument in Perform Play mode,
you have to change quickly into Write mode, select the
(Instrument)
key and go back to play mode by pressing
(Write)
again.
Now you can play and tweak at the same time.
Usage of Drum Kits
When you are editing an instrument, you only change a temporary
memory, the so-called ”edit buffer”. In this memory block all sound
parameters are managed. In order not to to have to make your
effortfull edited instruments from scratch again each time, you can
store the edit buffer as a Drum Kit.
The XBASE 999 contains 256 memory locations for drum kits.
You can recall a drum kit by scrolling the (Data/Tempo) knob.

This copies the selected preset memory into the edit buffer. If you
are not in the highest (leftmost) cursor position, press the left cursor
button to reach the leftmost cursor position where preset selection
takes place. Pressing the
(Edit)
button yields the same result.
» Note
: If you select another drum kit, the old sound memories in the edit
buffer are overwritten! Don’t forget to store your drum kit if you like to keep
it! (See Kit Store P.)
