VGROUP (Voice group)
This setting determines the type of action when
the same pad is hit in succession (PL/MN), and
the group to which the pad belongs (0 - 7). The
setting range is PL0 - PL7 and MN0 - MN7.
If you select PL for a pad, the previous sound
of the pad will keep playing in addition to the
new sound when you hit the pad in succession.
If you select MN for a pad, the previous sound
of the pad will stop, and only the new sound is
heard when you hit the pad in succession.
The numeric settings 0 - 7 determine the group
of a pad (0: no group, 1 - 7: group 1 - 7). The
sounds of pads that are in the same group will
not be produced together. By assigning the
pads for open hi-hat and closed hi-hat to the
same group, the open hi-hat sound will be
suppressed when you activate the closed hi-hat
sound, resulting in a natural effect.
The group number 0 - 7 applies both to PL and
MN. Therefore pads PL1 and MN1 will not
produce sound together.
SENDLVL (Send level)
Sets the signal level to be supplied to the
REVERB effect. The setting range is 0 - 100.
This setting is made separately for each pad
and is independent of the overall drum kit send
level setting (
p. 56) made in effect mode.
To control effect intensity for each pad
individually, it may be best to set the effect
mode send level to 0 and adjust the SENDLVL
parameter for the pads.
NOTE
If the KICKDRY parameter in the patch
currently selected for the REVERB effect is
ON, changing the send level of a pad to
which the kick drum sound is assigned
(pad 0 of pad bank 1/2) has no effect. To
turn the KICKDRY parameter on and off,
follow the steps described in the section
"Editing effect patches".
KITNAME (Drum kit name)
Lets you change the name of the drum kit (
p.

8.

pattern mode, press the [PATTERN] key.
