^ [SF5] PageHold
Normally in the Drum Voice Edit mode, pressing a note on
the keyboard alternates the key (instrument) being edited
automatically. When the [SF5] PageHold button is turned
on, the key (instrument) being edited is maintained even if
you press any other note on the keyboard. This allows you
to edit a certain key while adjusting the level balance
between the key being edited and the other keys.

and high pass filter. You can adjust the tonal characteristics
of each drum sound by setting the Cutoff Frequency and

Frequency not to change depending on velocity. Negative
settings will cause the Cutoff Frequency to rise the more
softly you play the keyboard.
Settings: -200% – +0% – +200%
