If you want to start creating a drum kit of your own from scratch, use one of the ‘Blank’ kits
initially stored in the user program locations.
To store a new or edited program, move the ‘Write’ switch to the ‘Enable’ position - LED
flashes. Now, using the ‘Data Entry’ buttons ( ‘0’ to ‘9’ only ) select the program number
where you want to store the program. To store the program in the same location ( 25 to 39 only ) simply press the ‘WRITE’
button. If you want to listen to a program before overwriting it use the Compare function as follows:
COMPARE: When you have edited a program, move the ‘Write’ switch to the ‘Enable’ position and the Enable LED flashes.
Press the ‘COMPARE’ button once and the ‘Edit’ LED will flash at a faster rate to indicate ‘Compare’ mode is active. You
can now listen to the original program before deciding whether you want to overwrite it or not. Check the program using an
external keyboard/computer or the ‘Audition’ button on the front panel. Pressing the ‘COMPARE’ button again will bring
back the edited program. If you do want to save the program in this location, press the ‘WRITE’ button and the ‘Write’ LED
on display panel flashes momentarily. If you don’t want to save the program in this location you can choose another by sim-
ply entering any program number from ‘25’ to ‘39’ using the ‘Data Entry’ keypad ( buttons ‘0’ to ‘9’ only / the ‘-’ and ‘+’ can-
not be used ). Once again, you can check the programs using the ‘COMPARE’ feature and then, when you have found a
suitable location, press the ‘WRITE’ button. The program is now saved.
NOTE 1: Always return the ‘WRITE’ switch to the ‘Protect’ position after completing a save operation. This will avoid any
accidental erasure of programs. The ‘Write’ LED will flash to warn you of the ‘Enabled’ state.
NOTE 2: Programs can only be saved in the User locations (‘25’ to ‘39’). If you attempt to save a program into any of the
Factory locations ( ‘00’ to ‘24’ ) the display digits will flash rapidly to warn that this operation cannot be competed.
