Making Changes to Individual Drum Sounds — the “Drum” Parameters

The Drum parameters provide extraordinary flexibility, since they allow you
to make independent settings for the individual drum/percussion sounds in a
Drum Part. We’ll explore a couple of the possiblilities here:

1 Select “DRUM” from the Edit menus (with the [SELECT </>]

buttons) and press [ENTER].

2 Select “E3: Conga L.”

Play E3 on the connected MIDI keyboard, or use the [PART 

-/

+] buttons to select “E3.”

Details
In the Drum parameters you cannot use the [PART 

-

+

] buttons to select a Part;

they are reserved for selecting notes/sounds only.

3 Select the Pitch Coarse parameter, and set it to “-22.”

Use the [SELECT 

</>] buttons to select the parameter, then the

-/+] buttons or data dial. This setting creates a deep

log drum sound.

4 Select the Velocity Pitch Sensitivity parameter (VelPchSens), and

set it to “+12.”
Again use the [SELECT 

</>] buttons, then the [VALUE -/+]

buttons or data dial. Play the key softly to strongly and notice
how the pitch changes according to key velocity.
