Instrument Level

The RX15 lets you individually adjust the level (volume) of
each instrument so you can achieve the best overall
balance or “drum mix”.
The instrument level mode is entered simply by pressing
the blue INST LEVEL button. The LCD panel will read

“INST LEVEL” to indicate than the instrument level

mode is active. Pressing any black instrument button
then permits adjustment of that instrument’s level via the

linear DATA ENTRY control. The LCD panel will indicate

the selected instrument followed by the currently set

level-e.g. “TOM1 LEVEL 15”. Maximum level for each
instrument is 31, and minimum level is 00 (no sound).

The nominal level for all instruments is 15. Once the

instrument level mode is active, the instruments can be
selected using the corresponding instrument buttons and
adjusted in any sequence.

Press the INST LEVEL button a second time to exit the
instrument level mode.

Instrument Level (EX: adjust TOM 1 level)

RIMSHOT is panned full-right (left channel output is
minimum while right output is maximum). Once an
instrument has been selected its PAN position is
adjusted using the linear DATA ENTRY control. Once the
PAN mode is active, instruments can be selected and
adjusted in any sequence.
Press the PAN button a second time to exit the pan
mode.

Stereo Positioning (EX: Pan RIMSHOT)

Accents

Pressing any instrument button while holding the green

ACCENT button causes that instrument to be output at
its accent level (set using the blue ACCENT LEVEL
button) rather than at its normal instrument level (set

using 

the INST LEVEL function). This applies whether the

RX15 is being played in real time or whether it is being
programmed by either of the possible methods-real-
time write or step write (see PATTERN OPERATIONS
section).

Stereo Positioning (PAN)

Setting Accent Levels

In addition to individually adjusting the level of each

instrument, the RX15 makes it possible to individually
locate instruments anywhere from left to right in the

stereo sound field. Actually, each instrument can be

located at any one of 15 discrete stereo locations using

the PAN function.
The pan mode is entered simply by pressing the blue

PAN button. The LCD panel will read “PAN LEVEL” to
indicate that the pan mode is active. The instrument to

be positioned is then selected by pressing the
corresponding black instrument button. The LCD panel
will indicate the selected instrument followed by the
currently set PAN position-e.g. “RIM  L = 08 R = 08”

would indicate that RIMSHOT is currently panned to
stereo center since the left and right channel outputs are

equal (08). “RIM L = 1 R = 15” would indicate that

8

The accent level for each instrument can be set

independently, making it possible to set the most natural
level in relation to the instrument’s normal level.

The accent level mode is entered simply by pressing the

blue ACCENT LEVEL 

button. 

The LCD panel will read

“ACCENT LEVEL” to indicate that the accent level mode

is active. The instrument for which the accent level is to
be set is then selected by pressing the corresponding
black instrument button. The LCD panel will indicate the
selected instrument followed by its currently set accent
level-e.g. “TOM1 AC LEVEL 18”. The accent level can

then be adjusted using the linear DATA ENTRY control.
The accent level range is the same as the instrument

level range: 00—31. The accent level setting, however,
is added to the instrument level setting to produce the
