Assigning Voices to Individual Pads and Saving to a
Custom Kit
The instrument contains a total of 99 high quality drum Voices (see the “Voice List” on page 19)—and you can
assign these freely to each of the four pads and a pedal. Try assigning some different Voices and save your
own “
CU
” Custom Drum Kits.
NOTE
• Any data assigned to the Custom Kit will be replaced by factory default values (“
1
”) when the power is turned off.
• Custom Kit “
CU
” and Drum Kit “
1
” contents are the same until modified (see the “Drum Kit List” on page 20).
• Any changes made to one of the preset Drum Kits will automatically be saved in the “
CU
” Custom Drum Kit.
