automatically revert to the "Pattern-Select"-mode. This tip will also work
with the [Select]-and the [Solo]-button.
Tip: What actually happens during muting if you are pushing numeric button
16 – [Drums]? Pushing that button will actually mute the whole drum section!
3.1.4 "Solo"-mode
The Solo-Mode allows you to activate individual tracks for closer analysis. Of course the
"Solo"-function is also a popular gimmick when jamming with a pattern. Push the
[Solo]
-
button in the part-section , then push one or more of the numeric buttons, which will solo
the tracks you’d like to hear by themselves
Tip:
The "Solo"-mode can also be activated ”temporarily”. The process is exactly
the same as the one described for the "Mute"-function.
Tip : Of course you can also use the "Solo"-function to hear the sub-group
”Drums” all by itself.
3.1.5 Adjusting levels to your liking
You’re not happy with what you’re hearing? The balance of the Sounds just isn’t quite
right and individual sounds are too loud or soft? Let’s change that now! First push the
[Volume]
-button in the "Mixer"-section. Now adjust the levels corresponding to your
taste using encoders 1-15. Additionally you can use encoder 16 to adjust the overall
level of the whole drum-group.
3.1.6 Editing panorama and FX-sends
Now that you’re happy with the level settings, you can also adjust the FX-sends and
pan-position in the same way.
- Push the
[Pan]
-button in the "mixer"-section
- Using the encoders 1-15 you can now move each part between the two speakers until
you‘re perfectly happy with the stereo-balance.
- Push the
[FX1-Send]
- or the
[FX2-Send]
-button
- Using encoders 1-15 you will now be able to adjust the FX-level for each part
individually.
3.1.7 Sound selection for your parts
You’re saying the Kick-drum is too boomy, the Snare doesn’t have enough attack and
the Hi-Hat doesn’t sizzle enough? Well maybe you should try some different sounds!
Push the
[Select]
button in the "Part"-section.
Use numeric button
[1]
to choose the Kick-part
You will now see the following message in the display (of course song-number and pattern-
names may vary!):
"How to...?": "Pattern-Jam"-mode
