Use Drum Kit Designer
Drum Kit Designer shows a 3D representation of the drum kit for the currently loaded patch.
For all kits, you can preview the drums, edit the pitch, sustain, and volume of each drum kit piece,
and exchange the kick and snare drums. When working with Producer kits, you can additionally
exchange toms, cymbals, and hi-hat. Producer kits let you turn dierent microphones, such as
overheads or room mics, on or o.
Note: Producer kits and some drums are only available after you download additional content.
Drum Kit Designer also has additional parameters for adjusting the gain of other instrument
pieces, such as shaker, cowbell, and so on. See Drum Kit Designer extended parameters.
