DRUM EDIT MODE
NOTE SHIFT
JOB 3
Summary: Individually shifts the pitch of each
drum element up or down in semitone steps.
Settings: -48 ... +36
Procedure: Select the drum element to be edited
(C1 ... C6) by pressing the appropriate key on
the keyboard.
It is also possible to select the drum element
to be edited by moving the cursor to the key
name position by pressing the key and then
using the [DATA ENTRY] control or [+1/YES]
and [-1/NO] keys.
Once the desired drum element has been se-
lected, use the and cursor keys to move
the cursor to the note shift parameter.
Use the [DATA ENTRY] control, [-1/NO] and
[+1/YES] keys, or numeric and [ENTER] keys to
set the desired degree of note shift.
Details: A setting of "-12," for example, shifts the
pitch of the selected drum element down by one
octave; a setting of "+4" shifts the pitch up by a
major third.
In a drum voice, the note shift function can
be used to create pitched sets of tom-toms or
other instruments.
TUNE
JOB 4
Summary: Allows each individual drum clement to
be tuned over approximately a 150-cent range.
Settings: -64 ... +63
Procedure: Select the drum clement to be edited
(C1 ... C6) by pressing the appropriate key on
the keyboard.
It is also possible to select the drum element
to be edited by moving the cursor to the key
name position by pressing the key and then
using the [DATA ENTRY] control or [+1/YES]
and [-1/NO] keys.
Once the desired drum element has been se-
lected, use the and cursor keys to move
the cursor to the tuning parameter.
Use the [DATA ENTRY] control, [-1/NO] and
[+1/YES] keys, or numeric and [ENTER] keys to
set the desired tuning value.
Details: Each tuning increment corresponds to a 75/
64-cent change in pitch. The entire tuning range
is therefore 75/64 x 127 (i.e. 64 + 63 incre-
ments) — almost 150 cents. Since 100 cents
equals one semitone, the tuning range is approxi-
mately one and a half semitones. A setting of
"0" produces normal pitch.
