Editing the Rhythm Part of a Style (Drum Setup)
The explanations here apply to step 5 of the Basic Procedure on
. The Rhythm parts of a preset Style consist of
a preset Drum Kit, and each drum sound is assigned to a separate note. You may want to change the sound and the
note assignments, or make more detailed settings such as volume balance, effect, etc. By using the Drum Setup
function of the Style Creator, you can edit the Rhythm part of a Style and save it as an original Style.

NOTE
Level
For adjusting the volume level.
Pan
Determines the stereo position.
Pitch
For fine tuning of the pitch in cent increments.
Cutoff
Determines the cutoff frequency or effective frequency range of the filter. Higher values
result in a brighter sound.
Resonance
Determines the emphasis given to the cutoff frequency (resonance), set in Filter Cutoff
above. Higher values result in a more pronounced effect.
Attack
Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the key is played. The
higher the value, the quicker the attack.
Decay 1
Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly lower level than max-
imum). The higher the value, the quicker the decay.
Decay 2
Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is released. The higher the
value, the quicker the decay.
