Editing a TR-808/909 (V-EDIT)
This simulates a Roland “TR-808” or “TR-909” Rhythm Composer. Only instruments specified for
each trigger input can be selected. For details on instrument assignments, refer to p. 136.
* For instruments in the TR-808/909 groups, selecting an instrument for the head will assigns the same
instrument for the rim. It’s not possible to change the rim to a different instrument.
