3 Wave Bank (Waveform Bank)*
Determines the Waveform Bank assigned to the Drum Key,
Preset or User. User Waveforms can be created based on
the samples recorded in the Sampling mode.
Settings: PRE (preset waveform), USR (user waveform)
n For details about Waveform, refer to the explanation of the
Sampling Mode on page 161.
4 Wave Category (Waveform Category)*
5 Wave Number (Waveform Number)*
Determines the Waveform assigned to the Drum Key by
selecting the Waveform Category and Number. For a
complete list of Waveforms in the Preset Bank, refer to the
Waveform List in the separate Data List booklet.
6 Assign Mode*
When this is set to “single,” double playback of the same
note is prevented. This is useful when two or more
instances of the same note are received nearly
simultaneously, or without a corresponding note off
message. To allow playback of each instance of the same
note, set this to “multi.” In general, you should probably set
this to “multi”—especially for tambourine and cymbal
sounds that you would want to ring out to their full decay,
when playing them multiple times in succession. Please
keep in mind that the “multi” setting consumes the overall
polyphony and it may cause sounds to be cut off.
Settings: single, multi
single
When this is set to “single” and double playback of the same note are
transmitted to the internal tone generator, the first note will be stopped
then the next note will be sounded.
multi
When this is set to “multi” and double playback of the same note are
transmitted to the internal tone generator, all the notes are sounded
simultaneously.
7 Receive Note Off
Determines whether or not the selected Drum Key
responds to MIDI Note Off messages. This should be set to
on when the selected Drum Key has a sustained, non-
decaying sound (such as a snare roll), so that you can stop
the sound by releasing the note.
Settings: off, on
8 Alternate Group*
Determines the Alternate Group to which the key is
assigned. In a real drum kit, some drum sounds cannot
physically be played simultaneously, such as open and
closed hi-hats. You can prevent keys from playing back
simultaneously by assigning them to the same Alternate
Group. Up to 127 Alternate Groups can be defined. You
can also select “off” here if you wish to allow the
simultaneous playback of sounds.
Settings: off, 1 – 127
9 Ins Effect Output (Insertion Effect Output)
Determines which Insertion Effect (A or B) is used to
process each individual Drum Key. This parameter is same
as the Ins Effect Output in the Connect display (page 107)
in Voice Common Edit. Making a setting here automatically
changes the setting of that parameter as well.
When INSERTION CONNECT (2) is set to “ins L” in the
Connect display, Insertion L is used to process each
individual Drum Key, even if “ins A” or “ins B” is selected.
Settings: thru (through), ins A (Insertion Effect A), ins B (Insertion
Effect B)
) Reverb Send*
Determines the level of the Drum Key sound (the bypassed
signal) that is sent to Reverb effect. This is available only
when Insertion Effect Output (above) is set to “thru.” The
setting made here will be applied to the same parameters
in the Connect display (page 107) of the Voice Common
Edit.
Settings: 0 – 127
! Chorus Send*
Determines the level of the Drum Key sound (the bypassed
signal) that is sent to Chorus effect. This is available only
when Insertion Effect Output (above) is set to “thru.” The
setting made here will be applied to the same parameters
in the Connect display (page 107) of the Voice Common
Edit.
Settings: 0 – 127
@ Output Select
Determines the specific output(s) for the individual Drum
key signal. You can assign each individual Drum Key
sound to be output from a specific hardware output jack on
the rear panel. This parameter is useful when you wish to
apply a connected external effect to a specific drum
instrument. The setting here is available only when the
Insertion Effect Output parameter (9) is set to “thru.”
Settings: See the table below.
n The mLAN settings (m1 – m14) are available only for the
MOTIF XS8. The mLAN settings are available for MOTIF XS6/7
only when an optional mLAN16E2 has been installed.
