A drum kit consists of sounds assigned to each pad. In some cases,
the sound will change depending upon your playing dynamics.
1.
Buttons from [ ] through [ ]
Pressing these buttons will call up different kits.
2.
Variation [ ]
When you press this button, you can access the variation kits.
Example:
Play the kit [ ] (Accorstic).
Press [ ] and you play the variation kit (Jazz).
Before playing back a pattern, lower the volume of the HD-1. The
volume of these patterns may be louder than when you play the kit
normally, and you do not want to risk damage to your ears or connected
equipment.
Also, when patterns are playing, hitting the pads will not produce
sound.
1.
Press and hold one of the [ ]–[ ] buttons for a few
seconds.
A pattern using this current kit will play.
If you press the [ ] button, the pattern for that variation kit will
play.
You can change the tempo of the pattern by adjusting the
[TEMPO] knob.
Each pattern will play at it’s default tempo (set at the factory).
To change the tempo of the pattern, adjust the TEMPO knob AFTER
playback has started.
2.
Playback will stop if you press any one of the kit buttons
during playback.
