Global P5: Drum Kit Editing Drum Kits

Fine-tuning the sound of each sample
1. If you like, adjust the Levels for the two Drumsamples.
This can be very useful in creating a smooth velocity split or
crossfade.
2. As necessary, specify the tuning, EG parameters, and
filter.
Access the P5: Drum Kit– Sample Parameter page.
Adjust
Tune
,
Attack (Amp EG Attack)
,
Decay (Amp EG
Decay)
,
Cutoff
and
Resonance
for each drumsample.
3. You can also edit the drive, boost, and EQ for each
drumsample.
Access the P5: Drum Kit– Drive/EQ page.
Adjust
Drive
,
Low Boost
, and
3 Band EQ Gain [dB
] for
each drumsample.
For details, please see “5–2: Sample Parameters” on
page 235.
4. Repeat “Specifying the key to which you will assign a
drumsample,” on page 240 to set up each key of the
Drum Kit.
5. You can also copy settings from one key to another,
using the Copy Key Setup menu command.
Using Exclusive Groups
1. Access the P5: Drum Kit– Voice/Mixer page.
2. Use the Exclusive Groups to make one drum sound cut
off another drum sound - such as closed and open hi-
hats.
For example, let’s say that you’ve assigned an open hi-hat
and a closed hi-hat to the same exclusive group:
• Play the open hi-hat sound.
• While it’s still ringing, play the closed hi-hat.
• The open hi-hat sound will be cut off–simulating the
action of a physical hi-hat.
Using Hold
The Program
Hold
parameter can be especially useful for
drum programs, since it lets the samples ring out naturally
regardless of how long you hold down the note. The way
that this works depends on settings in both the Program and
the Drum Kit, as described below.
To enable
Hold
:
1. Access the Prog P1: Basic/Ctrls– Key Zone/Scale page.
2. Under Key Zone, make sure that the Hold check-box is
checked.
Once you’ve turned on
Hold
for the Program, the function is
controlled on a note-by-note basis according to settings
within the Drum Kit.
3. Access the Global P5: Drum Kit– Voice/Mixer page.
4. For each key, set the Enable Note Off Receive parame-
ter as desired.
If this parameter is unchecked, the key will be held.
If it is checked, the key will not be held.
If you turn off
Hold
in the Program, no keys will be held -
regardless of their
Enable Note Off Receive
setting.
Controlling effects for each key
Drum Kits have their own, built-in mixers. For each key, you
can control the Insert Effects bussing, Master Effects sends,
and pan.
To use separate bus settings for each key:
1. Access the Prog P8: IFX– Routing page.
2. Make sure that the Use DKit Setting check-box is
checked.
When
Use DKit Setting
is on, the Program will use the Bus
Select and Effects Send settings for each key of the Drum
Kit.
When
Use DKit Setting
is off,
the Program will ignore the
Drum Kit’s Bus Select and Effects Send settings.
3. Access the Global P5: Drum Kit– Voice/Mixer page.
4. Use the Bus (IFX/Output) Select parameter to send
drum sounds through their own Insert effects, or to the
L/R outputs.
If you like, you can send each note to its own Insert effect, or
to the individual audio outputs, in addition to the L/R
outputs.
For example, you might send all snare sounds to
IFX1
, all
kick sounds to
IFX2
, and the remaining sounds to
L/R
.
Tip:
In most preloaded drumkits, the drum instruments have
the same
Bus (IFX/Output) Select
settings according to their
type, as follows.
Snares
→
IFX1
Kicks
→
IFX2
Other
→
IFX3
5. Use Send1 (to MFX1) and Send2 (to MFX2) to set the
send levels to the master effects.
