Basic Functions

Editing and Saving Drum Kits

Important:

  • To edit and save your kits, you must be in Normal Mode, with either the Kit or Voice button lit.
  • Remember to save your kits after you have entered the settings you want!

First, press Kit until NUM appears on the display. Then use the – / + buttons to select your desired kit. Once you’ve selected your kit, you can edit its settings.

To adjust the kit settings:

  1. Press the Kit button to cycle between these other editable kit parameters:
    • VOL: Kit volume
    • REV*: Kit reverb
    • EQH*: Equalization, high frequencies
    • EQM*: Equalization, mid frequencies
    • EQL*: Equalization, low frequencies
  2. Use the – and + buttons to adjust the value.

The reverb and equalization affect the sound of the kit and song.

To adjust the pad settings:

  1. Make sure the module is in Normal mode (top Mode LED is lit).
  2. Hit the pad whose settings you want to adjust.
  3. Press the Voice button.
  4. Press – / + buttons to change a sound.
  5. Press the Voice button again to view and edit these settings on the display:
    • NUM / H-C**: Pad voice (drum, cymbal, or percussion sound)
    • VOL: Pad volume
    • PAN: Pad panning
    • PIT: Pad pitch
    • REV: Pad reverb
    • MID: MIDI note. See the (5.0) Appendix for a list of the default MIDI note numbers for each pad.
    • P-S: Pad song switch (selects whether or not a song will play when that pad is struck)
    • P-N***: Pad song number (selects which song will play when that pad is struck, if P-S is set to ON)
  6. Use the – and + buttons to adjust the value.

If the selected pad is the Hi-Hat, you can choose one of the combinations of open and closed hi-hat sounds (H-C, 001-007).
Songs 61 – 80 are pitched, nondrum samples (e.g., bass, piano, vibraphone, etc.) rather than actual songs, so they’re ideal for assigning to a pad, when selecting the “pad song number.” Songs 66 – 80 will change pitch with each hit. Songs 1 – 60 are actual songs.

To save your settings:

  1. Press Save.
  2. Use the – and + buttons to select the User Kit slot you want to save it to (33 -48).
  3. Press Save again.

To cancel a change before saving, press Kit, Voice, or Song.

Playing Along With Songs

Important: To play songs, you must be in Normal Mode (Kit, Voice, Song).

To select and play a song:

  1. Press the Song button until NUM appears on the display.
  2. Use the – and + buttons to select a song.
  3. Press Start/Stop to begin playback.
    • Adjust the tempo by pressing Tempo and using the – and + buttons to adjust the BPM. Press both – and + buttons simultaneously to reset the tempo to its default value. Press the Song button to cycle through additional Song settings.
    • Adjust the volume of the music (not the drum part) by pressing the Song button, then press the Song button repeatedly until ACC appears on the display. Use the – and + buttons to adjust the volume. It will return to its default volume setting when you power the module off.
    • Adjust the volume of the drum part by pressing the Song button, then press the Song button until DRM appears on the display. Use the – and + buttons to adjust the volume. To mute/unmute the drum part entirely, press Drum Mute. It will return to its default volume setting when you power the module off.

Playing Along With Beats, Rhythms, and Patterns

Important: To play along with Beats, Rhythms, or Patterns, you must be in Learning Mode.

  1. Press one of these Learning Mode buttons to select how you want to play:
    • Beat (BEA): Snare drum only
    • Rhythm (RHM): Full kit
    • Pattern (PTN): Full kit plus musical accompaniment
  2. Use the – and + buttons to select the beat, rhythm, or pattern you want to practice.
  3. To practice without being scored, press Play/Practice (PRA will appear on the display). After a count-in, the beat, rhythm, or pattern will repeat so you can practice it.

To play and be scored, press Start/Stop. After a count-in (EXM will appear on the display), the beat, rhythm, or pattern will play once without the drum part. Play the drum part as accurately as possible. At the end, you will receive a score (SCO) based your accuracy. To improve your score, Practice the beat, rhythm, or pattern without being scored (see above) and try again!

Every played and scored attempt is automatically recorded. Press and hold Play/Practice for 2 seconds to hear the playback of your practice (PLY). Press Play/Practice again to stop playback.

Notes:

  • If EPY appears on the display, it means the memory is empty because no recording was made. Play while scoring your performance (as described above) to record.
  • If FUL appears on the display, it means the module’s memory became full while recording. You can clear/overwrite the memory by simply making a new recording.

To adjust the Learning Mode settings:
Each Learning Mode has different adjustable settings. Press the desired Learning Mode button (Rhythm, Beat, or Pattern) to cycle through the additional settings, and use the – and + buttons to adjust their values:

  • Beat (BEA): (DRM) Drum volume
  • Rhythm (RHM): (LEV) Difficulty level; (DRM) Drum volume
  • Pattern (PTN): (LEV) Difficulty level; (ACC) Accompaniment; (DRM) Drum volume

  2. Hit the pad whose settings you want to adjust.
  3. Press the Utility button repeatedly until the desired setting appears on the display:
    • SEN (Pad sensitivity): Controls how responsive a pad is when you hit it. The higher the value, the less forcefully you need to play to generate a loud hit.
    • THR (Pad threshold): Controls how forcefully you have to hit the pad to generate a sound. The higher the value, the harder you have to hit it.
    • CRO (Pad crosstalk): Crosstalk is the unintentional triggering of a pad when an adjacent pad is hit. The higher the value, the less likely the pad will be triggered by crosstalk.
    • CUR (Pad velocity curve): Controls the pad’s dynamic response relative to the force (velocity) of your hit. The curves are shown in the (5.0) Appendix section.
    • R-S (Pad rim sensitivity): Controls how responsive a pad’s rim is when you hit it.
    • S-S (Hi-Hat “splash” sensitivity): Controls how responsive the hi-hat “splash” effect is when you hit the pedal. To create this sound, tap your foot on the pedal but lift it up immediately instead of leaving your foot down.
    • LOC (Local Mode): See (4.4) MIDI Settings for more information.
    • GM (General MIDI Mode): See (4.4) MIDI Settings for more information.
  4. Use the – and + buttons to adjust the value.

To adjust the metronome settings:

  1. Turn on the metronome (by pressing Click), then, while in Normal Mode, press the Mode button repeatedly until the desired setting appears on the display:
    • SIG (Time signature): The time signature the metronome is counting. (When a “0” is selected as the first number, the first beat will not be indicated by a different metronome sound; every beat will have the same sound.)
    • INT (Interval): The subdivisions that the metronome will play.
    • VOL (Volume): The metronome volume.
    • VOC (Voice): The metronome sound.
  2. Use the – and + buttons to adjust the value. The settings will be automatically saved.
Recording

  2. Start recording (as described in the To record section above).
  3. To play the recording, press Play/Practice. Press it again to stop playback.

To adjust the recording settings:

    • SNG (Song number): The song that will play in the background.
    • KIT (Kit): The drum kit that will be recorded.
    • BPM (Tempo): The recording tempo.
    • SIG (Time signature): The recording time signature.
    • INT (Interval): The subdivisions that the metronome will play.
    • DRM (Drum mute): When not set to a song (—) or when set to Song 61-80, this setting is disabled because an actual song is not selected (Songs 61-80 are actually just samples that can be assigned to the pads). When set to Song 1-60, you can set this to ON or OFF to turn the original drum part on or off. Alternatively, you can press the Drum Mute button.
    • PRC (Pre-count): When set to ON, there will be a one-measure count-in before the recording starts. When set to OFF, the recording will start immediately after you press Start/Stop or hit a pad.
