Kit Page Provides controls that affect the sound
of the individual Instruments. You can fine-tune
Strike Kits on the Kit page—for example, tune
the Kick down or adjust the decay of the cym-
bals. For more information, see “Kit Page” on
page 26.
Mix Page Provides a built-in mixing desk, with
two insert effects and a three-band equalizer for
each Instrument channel. Like in a real drum
recording situation, the channels can be bal-
anced, routed, and processed using equalizer
and effects on the Mix page. For more informa-
tion, see “Mix Page” on page 29.
Style Editor Provides features for in-depth edit-
ing of Styles and the creation of your own Pat-
terns and Parts. You can add or delete events and
change their timing and playing style using the
Style editor. For more information, see “Style
Editor” on page 34.
