Chain Play Mode
A chain is a programmed sequence that arranges
multiple drum kits or songs in a certain order. In
Chain Play mode, you can choose that chain, and
recall and play a drum kit or song.
Chain play is useful to play the different drum
kits arranged in a order you like, especially in
live performances or other exercises. You can
program up to 32 chains and choose to play any
one at a time.
n
Before playing a chain, program it in Chain Edit
mode (page 59).
