[DRUM KIT]
This chapter explains the Drum Kit mode called up via the [DRUM KIT] button.
In the Drum Kit mode, you can select and play the desired Drum Kit from 50 Preset Drum Kits (PRE: 01 to 50), with
another 50 User Drum Kits (USR: 01 to 50) available for editing and creating your own kits. In addition, you can create
and store original kits to the 1584 External Drum Kits (EXT-A: 01 – 99 … EXT-P: 01 – 99) by using an external USB
storage device connected to the USB TO DEVICE terminal. These Drum Kits can be called up directly, even though
they are stored to an external device.
