Drum Voices and MIDI note numbers
One important thing to understand is that separate Drum Voices are assigned to MIDI note numbers
when using the Stack/Alternate function (page 86). While you may not need to pay attention to MIDI
note numbers when using other functions, using the Stack/Alternate function requires that you set the
MIDI note number instead of the Drum Voice.
For the currently selected Drum Kit, you can confirm which Drum Voice is assigned to each MIDI note
number in the display called up by pressing the [DRUM KIT] , [F2] VOICE, [SF1] SELECT buttons in
order, setting the SOURCE to MIDI, then selecting a MIDI note number on the “NOTE NO” column.
From this display, you can change the Drum Voice assigned to the MIDI note number, meaning that
you can change the Drum Voice assigned to the Trigger Input Source (pad).
In the examples above, the Trigger Input Sources and Drum Voices listed below are assigned to the MIDI note numbers C1,
C3 and C5 respectively.
